Here's something I've kicked around in my head for a while that I'll share..

So as I understand it the fifth amendment guarantees that you don't have to provide information about yourself that could get you thrown in jail.

Once a year we all provide information about ourselves that can get us thrown in jail.

Taxes.

Yeah...chew on that one a minute..

#selfincrimination

@shaknais So because some paranoid #TechIlliterates can't be assed to learn proper #ComSec the entire nation is now being taken as hostage and have their devices bricked in retaliation?

• Funfuckingtastic!

At this point I just want to throw CryptoPhones after those Wankers, but they also banned secure communicatioms devices and mandated #Govware #Bacdoors cuz that's totally not #facist like a #PoliceState nor impacts peoples' #HumanRights to #Privacy and against #SelfIncrimination...

More news from the land of the free ;

“The US Constitution's Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination does not prohibit police officers from forcing a suspect to unlock a phone with a thumbprint scan, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday. The ruling does not apply to all cases in which biometrics are used to unlock an electronic device but is a significant decision in an unsettled area of the law.

The US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit had to grapple with the question of "whether the compelled use of Payne's thumb to unlock his phone was testimonial," the ruling in United States v. Jeremy Travis Payne said. "To date, neither the Supreme Court nor any of our sister circuits have addressed whether the compelled use of a biometric to unlock an electronic device is testimonial."

Remember folks: You must provide your password to authorities in the U.K. if told to. Failing to provide your password to authorities will get you convicted of a crime.
