So in Britian, if you are suspected of a crime ... you yourself have to provide evidence to convict yourself ... or you?ll get thrown in Jail anyway. I don?t want to defend anyone with child pornography, but this is a legal dilemma in my Opinion. How can it be legal in a state that has signed the European Convention on Human Rights (Articles 6 & 8 do aply)? Sure, the Police have the right to search when a Judge orders it ... but how can it be legal that cooperation is forced on you? Forced to make a case against yourself or prove your innosence? "Everything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You" - in Britian, everything you DON`T say too ...A teenager has been jailed for 16 weeks after he refused to give police the password to his computer.
Oliver Drage, 19, of Liverpool, was arrested in May 2009 by police tackling child sexual exploitation.
Police seized his computer but could not access material on it as it had a 50-character encryption password.
Drage was convicted of failing to disclose an encryption key in September. He was sentenced at Preston Crown Court on Monday.[...]
