Would not this be covered under rights guaranteed by constitution? Or right not to reveal incriminating evidence against self?If that were the case, you could refuse the police to search your home, as you may have incriminating evidence inside. From what I understand, the judge's viewpoint is that it's similar to a search warrant, or making someone provide the key or combination to a safe.
Interesting but not really the same. They have right to search but can not ask me to assist in their search. So they can search my laptop but can not ask me to tell them where the "incriminating" files are. So under fifth amendment protection they can not ask me to reveal the password. -- Regards, Sudev Barar Read http://blog.sudev.in for topics ranging from here to there. PS: I know most of people do not follow email niceties (mostly they are not aware) but if you follow bottom post/in-line post style of email conversations it becomes a whole lot easier to carry on meaningful dialogue and you can snip out what is not meaningful too. Most people just hit reply button and top post leaving prior message appended uselessly at bottom. See if you can adopt this style and persuade others. In case you are already doing this ..... great, spread the message.
