FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Feds Want Judge to Force Suspect to Give Up Laptop Password
January 6th, 2012
While we hear about these criminal cases, where the government alleges to not have access to the system because of the encryption, we never hear about what happens to the laptops with full disk encryption that are seized from people at airports…
Via: Wired:
Federal prosecutors want a judge to order a Colorado woman to provide the password to decrypt her laptop, which the government seized with a search warrant.
With backup from digital rights groups, the woman is fighting the feds, arguing that being forced to provide her password violates the Fifth Amendment’s protection against forced self-incrimination.
Colorado U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn is expected to rule any day on whether to force defendant Ramona Fricosu to decrypt her Toshiba Satellite M305, which authorities seized from her in 2010 with a court warrant while investigating financial fraud.
The case is being closely watched by digital rights groups, as the issue has never been squarely weighed in on by federal courts, and the Supreme Court has never addressed the issue.
