http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38303977I agree the EFF - the appeals judge got that wrong - how is a digital combination ANY different from a physical combination? They are both just a sequence of numbers used to unlock something.
-
Even more -
Judge Black referred to a famous Supreme Court case, Doe v US 1988, in which Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that a defendant could be made to surrender a key to a strongbox containing incriminating documents but they could not "be compelled to reveal the combination to his wall safe".
I'm not sure how you are compelling someone to give up a key, unless it's on their person. But if it's the location of that key - how are they compelling that without violating the 5th amendment?
-
I'm sure that this will go up the chain.
