fun fact, in the UK the offence is “failing to decrypt the device when required to do so” making these measures quite dangerous.
That said, unless you are being charged under a national security crime, the maximum sentence for “failing to decrypt the device when required to do so” is up to two years, so the game’s the game.
Wow the UK is a turd too.
Yeah, go to the UK and say "I support Palestine Action" and see what happens. They're having a rough time of it right now.
I wonder how they'd look at it if previous cracking attempts wiped the device. Is that "failure" to unlock punishable or not? The phone was wiped already - the user can't unlock it even if he wanted to.
Similarily, is it possible to make it impossible to prove the device was wiped due to the PIN and not beforehand?
