But encryption is not new. The writers of the fifth amendment were familiar with it.

No, no, no.

Do you understand what the right to not self-incriminate means?

Let’s focus on “physical” evidence and assume that you stabbed someone, then hid the knife. If you do not tell the police, they can’t charge you for impeding an investigation, because it would be self-incrimination. In no way can you forcefully be made to…

Your vote for a fascist police state has been duly recorded. Thank you.

no, warrants only give law enforcement the right to search your property without your permission, they do not compel you to help.

How’s that enough? Fifth ammendment. Or he really has forgotten his password. I have a bunch of encrypted drives that I can’t remember the password to even if they tortured me spanish inquisition style. It happens. Yes, he could be a terrible human being, he could also have forgotten those passwords, he could also…

This is the single dumbest thing I’ve ever read on the internet. So the right not to incriminate yourself doesn’t apply to physical evidence? Gotcha.

Agreed. Whether you agree with the 5th or you don’t - doesn’t matter. It’s the law of the land. Whether he’s guilty or not, also doesn’t matter at this point. The government is just using its overwhelming reach and power to keep him behind bars.

Or he’s telling the truth and he doesn’t know the passwords.

Yeah, I’m unsure why this guy has been proven guilty in some people’s eyes. There’s been no evidence presented outside of “cops raided him”. Cops never raid the wrong place? Never make mistakes? I guess it’s based on the fact he is exercising his constitutional rights, so if he was innocent, he’d be happy to throw…

Then move to a country that doesn’t have a right to privacy. You have scores to choose from.

Fuck, we’re still debating whether ex-felons should be able to vote after they’ve served their debts to society. I’m getting pretty tired of the CrimJ fascists.

If there is PHYSICAL EVIDENCE in his computer, they CAN just break it open to retrieve it. Unless you meant digital evidence, in which case you’re clearly confused about the subject.

Constitutional protections obviously don’t apply to criminals...

I guess you think the fifth amendment is only for some people ?

Rarely, do people understand why we acknowledge and accept that some crimes will go unpunished in order to secure greater freedom for everyone.

No according to the 11th Circuit.

This case is a facist’s wet dream: anyone who objects is a supporter of child porn!

So I guess he’s guilty until he proves himself innocent? #AmericanJustice

Those are legit topics. But it’s the other stuff- the posts denigrating women- that are at issue. Half the shit on there is bullshit- woman quits a job to be with her kids- there’s no wage gap, it’s just women giving in to their natural urges, blah, blah. It’s like Return of Kings- bullshit pseudoscience used to back…
