Most relevant review of the various US court rulings on compelled decryption.
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/02/appeals-court-fifth-amendment-protections-can-apply-to-encrypted-hard-drives/
Encrypted drives should have two passwords. One that will unlock it and one that will completely scrub the data and fill it with bullshit 1s and 0s, then unlock it.
That way you could be force to give a password, but you give the other one and just show the court that there's nothing but junk on the drive
Spanish Inquisition? More like American inquisition.
You have no rights, encrypt your files on externals buried in the woods or something, move to Roanapur.

Sounds about right.
>>72422259
He's guilty of obstructing justice, don't try and act like this is an innocent man (otherwise he would absolve himself and aid the state in whatever way he could.)
He was tracked downloading illegal content off a watch site (like a fucking BAIT CAR) and is getting BTFO for it now.

With the files in them. Why are you so zealous in advocating that which would be considered a violation of your basic civil rights in most of the free world?
Why are Anglos so eternally Anglo?

He has a right to not testify to the nature of the contents of the hard drives and any connections he may have to them as well as the right to not tell the cops about any other data he may have stored elsewhere.
>>72422435
pointless.
Just clone the drive before trying the password.
>>72422639

No, it's the equivalent of the cabinet being locked. The suspect should not be forced to help open the cabinet under a civilised legal system..
>Only in this case you actually have a way to put that shit back together that you DIDN'T turn over
But he did turn it over. The prosecution is apparantly too incompetent to unlock the carrier.. But that shouldn't be the suspects problem by any stretch of the imagination.
>>72422637
They get convicted in courts of law without having their basic rights as suspects violated, and I imagine that some may walk free, yes. Beyond reasonable doubt in combination with the basic rights suspects have make it so that not all criminals get convicted.. That's just the way it is. Are you honestly advocating breaking down the rule of law as it is applied in most of the free world, in favor of totalitarianism?

Why should they be force to turn over the cabinet in the first place if they won't be force to open it and the police can't?
You're being a retard. Either you believe concealing evidence should be legal (in which case just say that and we'll agree to disagree), or you believe that this doesn't constitute concealing evidence (which it does in practice because the evidence, the information itself, is still god damn concealed from the police).
>>72422787
He was tracked doing illegal shit.

it varies by context. You can either get a small fine or be imprisoned indefinitely until you stop whatever behavior landed you in contempt, which could conceivably run out your natural lifespan depending on what you're doing.
>>72423032
>Why should they be force to turn over the cabinet in the first place if they won't be force to open it and the police can't?
They shouldn't.
In a civilized system, the police should be empowered to retrieve it, but you shouldn't be required to help them with it.

Yeah, they just can't be assed to prove this supposed dangerous criminal belongs in prison, definitely.
>>72423041
I'm not seeing any factual evidence of CP images being on his drive.
What they said is as good as air and you can be jailed with that accusation too if you forget your passwords.
>>72422904
You get forever for that, or until you are no longer in contempt.
>>72423106
So, in other words, you can jail an american indefinitly, without conviction, by handing out a court order that they can't fulfill, and then holding them in contempt?
Land of the free.
And how is a court order to aid the investigation against yourself not illegal in the first place?
>Hey tell us where the murder weapon is
>eh I'll just stay silent
>contempt of court, enjoy ur jail
>>72423032
Again: There's an area between actively concealing and actively helping your own prosecution. I really don't get how that is so difficult for you to see... You don't even have to turn over the file cabinet. You just cannot resist authorities when they come in and take it.. The same goes for a harddrive or other data carrier. In civilised systems, you're expected to be passive, which is fine. Requiring you to ACTIVELY help prosecution is just totalitarian m8... If you cannot see that, like so many other Anglos seem unable to see it, I fear for the future of the US and UK and by proxy, the rest of Europe...
>>72422615
was he using truecrypt or a commercial solution though?
>>72423155
>>72422618

>>72423190
Hes obstructing justice by withholding evidence
>>72422993
The password itself which he is being ordered to provide isn't something that could be used against him in court. He's already admitted to owning the drives.
We have a right to not admit to crimes or help police find evidence against us. We don't have a right to prevent police from accessing any potential evidence they've already found and if it isn't evidence against us, courts can order people to provide any truthful testimony as long as the order connects to a state interest.

>>72422435
There's already encryption schemes that provide hidden paritions such as TrueCrypt.
Having schemes that scrub data would probably be considered destroying evidence which is a very serious crime. Plus law enforcement are going to mirror any drives they get before trying to unlock them making scrubbing useless. It's also obvious and slow.
>>72423258
Keep repeating it and it might become true.
He is not the prosecutor, he is not the police, it is not his job to send himself to prison.

Neither is telling the cops where the gun is, but you absolutely do incriminate yourself this way.
You should not be required to aid the investigation. At all. In any way or form. Requiring you to incriminate yourself, even by proxy, is unjust. It should be perfectly legal for you to do absolutely nothing at all.

>>72423131
Yes, because there totally haven't been rulings on this exact issue since, at least, 2000.
>>72423071
The US system isn't well defined, but it's not bad. The government has to be able to reasonably establish that the files exist. The UK, Canada, Australia, France, do not have to do so. You turn over the keys, or you go to prison. All they have to do is ask.
This case would be more interesting to discuss if the "you're all bootlickers" crowd would fuck off. They're actually trying to compel him via different means than has been used in the past. This could be establishing new, useful legal precedent.

Not really, many current consumer-tier devices provide such functionality. The iPhone for example will wipe all data if a key is incorrectly entered X number of times as set by the user.
Android also has such functionality. Information is not necessarily evidence. You don't have to store everything you ever did just in case it's needed at some future point in time to prosecute you with.
Plus law enforcement are going to mirror any drives they get before trying to unlock them making scrubbing useless. It's also obvious and slow.
Scrubbing is not slow. Try recreate an encrypted drive with even 5% turned into zeros. I wager it's impossible. Of course you're correct to suggest that law enforcement could take the drive before it is scrubbed, making scrubbing useless as the drive would be cloned.
>>72423478

Wrong. You have the right to not open the door if the police have a warrant to search your house. They'll just break your door down. In this case, the "door" can't be broken down so the cops are throwing a shitfit.
>>72423460
Obstruction of justice requires you to actively do something.
Not doing something isn't obstruction of justice.
>Anyone that conceals evidence of a crime should also suffer a punishment for that act IMHO.
He isn't. That would be if he learned of the investigation and then encrypted, or hid, the drives.
But, so long as he did it ahead of time - you can't interfere with an investigation that isn't yet ongoing. If you want to go down this path, there's a lot of bad shit waiting for you, and it only starts at outlawing encryption.
>>72423393
>Evidence isnt self incrimination
He is self-incriminating by giving a password. It shows ownership & control over the hard drives and their content.
In a jury trial, the government will not only be able to say we found these hard drives in his house (or wherever he had them) but they will also be able to say "and he had the password to them."
There is literally nothing wrong with this. If he was innocent he would give out the password and that's it. Anyone who doesn't agree with me is a disgusting kiddy diddler
>>72423041
>He was tracked doing illegal shit.
Then why was he not convicted for doing illegal shit, rather than held on grounds of not cooperating with his own prosecution, anon?

Case mirrors in more respects a 2006 case where the suspect was compelled to decrypt the files.
Witness saw CP on the laptop. Laptop was closed, automatically encrypted. Government was able to compel decryption because they could establish that they already knew the files existed.
Similar case in 2012, existence of the files was established by recorded telephone conversation from jail.
>>72423571
Prosecution believes that theres evidence on the drive
>>72423630
Yeah I haven't done it but I've heard of it being done.
Hence the suggestion that its a better plan :)
>>72423612
There's also the option that they've been overwriting his drives with a different, encrypted filesystem. In that case, he won't ever be able to provide the keys.
This is how you keep someone in prison, forever, without trial. All you have to do is overwrite one hard drive.

It's not illegal though. And requiring you to decrypt it requires you to actively help your own prosecution, which should be a violation of your right to non-self incrimination.

Nah, your system(also our system) is fucked beyond fixing. I think people should be allowed to marry&work after puberty but now you have an unrealistic choice to find a 14 yold sweetheart wait for 4 years and then start working&marrying vs study find work and marry with 30 yold female who had 100's of dicks inside of her meanwhile supporting your black teenage mom with your taxes.

>>72423258
Protip son, if you are accused of something, you can literally shut your eyes, cover your ears, and not make a sound for the entire process, and there's nothing anybody can do to FORCE you to interact in any way with the process.
It is up to them to prove you did something, NOT up to you to prove you didn't.
In my opinion this is a case of being forced to testify against yourself.
Isn't it illegal for the government to compel speech in the US?
>>72424022
No you cant if they have a warrant
Refusing is obstructing justic3
>>72423976

Yes /pol/ has made it very clear they don't give a shit about exploited and abused kids. They are more interested in feeling bad for a pedophile.
>>72423595
>Why should he be required to do more? On what grounds?
On the grounds that it's a lawful court order and providing the key isn't a 5th amendment violation since the key itself isn't incriminating evidence?
>>72423976
>You cant refuse to give prints or dna samples
You can. And police will try to take it by force then... Which you can't resist. But in this case, the suspect has not resisted authorities taking his drives. They're just mad they're too incompetent to do something with it...
>>72423976
giving the encryption key is the same as confessing.

I've literally never met another American that thinks this way, only shills and cuckfags from the liberal fiefdoms like Commiefornia and Jew York. Where I come from, Americans are anything but docile.
Usually, the pro-statist propaganda you see on here is run out of the National Clandestine Service, courtesy of CIA/SAD, and headed by a guy named Greg Vogel. You see it explode anytime we talk about things that challenge state power, like the militia movement and encryption. In this instance, they're trying to set the narrative of, "you're a pedo if you don't believe in forcing people to incriminate themselves". It's a part of the broader anti-encryption initiative that's been going on for the past couple years, and it's really fucking pathetic.

The problem with that kind of reasoning is that he would even be in prison if he wasn't concealing evidence.
>>72424199
He shouldn't, unless he actively tampered with the evidence after having knowledge of the investigation.
In civilized parts of the world, anyways.
The alternative is just abandoning cryptography in the first place, as it'd be worthless.

Your courts have way too much power m8. They should, in fact, not have any power to compel anyone under investigation to do anything.

So let the case be decided based on the merits or otherwise of that evidence.
>>72423830
Read what your wrote again, and understand why you'll never win this argument.
Well, that and the fact that all but one court ruling on this subject has been to compel the person to decrypt their files.
This is technology creating a box that can't be opened. If the government can reasonably establish that the files are in there, you have to open it.
If this were a pure fishing expedition, the single precedent for not compelling decryption would be relevant, and this guy would be free.

>>72424155
>You go to jail forever, longer in fact than the murder would have required
Don't be silly, you can only be held until the statute of limitations on the killing runs out.
And if you don't appeal that you don't possess the gun, and even admit you do, yeah, enjoy jail or turn over the fucking gun dipshit.
>>72424383
>if you come across a picture through your browser that happens to be illegal then is the picture on your hard drive waiting to be dug up?
Yes.
Everything you see on the internet must necessarily be downloaded first, or you wouldn't be able to see it. Anything you download ends up in your cache, i.e. saved on your pc.
Even after deleting your cache, it's quite possible the image persists on the drive for an extended time, seeing how operating systems usually only delete the pointer towards the file, not the file itself.
If you can't set up an automatic DBAN on entry of an incorrect password you don't deserve freedom

Does this not come under 5th amendment right to not incriminate yourself?

By being forced to to speak, or write something you are being forced to give testimony, thus, if you are forced to speak, or write your passphrase down, so your drive can be decrypted and presented as evidence in a court of law you against are ... being forced to provide testimony to self incriminate.
I suggest you check the 5th Amendment.

You can never be sure there's NOT an investigation going on.
Hence, you always have to assume it's possible there's an investigation going on.

Hence, any american can be prosecuted for tampering with evidence at all times, indiscriminately.
Hence, the law in unjust.
