Many of us have been watching the Colorado Court Case where a woman used encryption to protect files on her laptop. She was arrested for bank fraud and as a part of the investigation she refused to give up her password that would produce more evidence of her guilt - thus self incrimination and a violation of her 5th Amendment rights...
US District Judge Robert Blackburn ruled against the defendant.
She is appealing the ruling...
I hope she wins !!! The authorities should build a case without this data or obtain it from a witness or whistleblower, not by being ordered!
