In UK you can go to jail for not remembering your password. There's nothing to "yay".
> A 19-year old from Lancashire has been sentenced to 16 weeks in a young offenders institution for refusing to give police the password to an encrypted file on his computer.
"Forgetting" the password to files comprising the entirety of evidence pertaining to the investigation of a crime is hardly the same as being jailed for forgetting an arbitrary password.
It looks the same to me. If the "files comprising the entirety of evidence" are what's encrypted, then there is no case unless and until they decrypt them. What's to stop them from jailing anyone they want who can't/won't decrypt everything on their computer at demand? This is exactly how police states operate.
A police state doesn't require evil intent. On the contrary, each one starts out with the BEST of intentions.
This is why we host all our stuff ourselves in a UK DC. Snooping legislation is crazy in the land of the free
