Hong Kong police can now demand phone passwords under national security law https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8j9yj52lro

Those who do not comply can be jailed for up to a year and fined up to HK$100,000 ($12,700; £9,600).

@tek Just so everyone knows, in England, the police can also demand your phone password under s49 RIPA 2000.

@lavenderjamie same in France

@tek @Em0nM4stodon the only appropriate response (besides pepper spraying the officer/s) is "sorry i don't know it"

@tek
I wonder if the demand covers subsequent passwords required to access info and services located off device?
