Child porn suspect jailed indefinitely for refusing to decrypt hard drives

Child porn suspect jailed indefinitely for refusing to decrypt hard drives

A Philadelphia man suspected of possessing child pornography has been in jail for seven months and counting after being found in contempt of a court order demanding that he decrypt two password-protected hard drives.

The suspect, a former Philadelphia Police Department sergeant, has not been charged with any child porn crimes. Instead, he remains indefinitely imprisoned in Philadelphia's Federal Detention Center for refusing to unlock two drives encrypted with Apple's FileVault software in a case that once again highlights the extent to which the authorities are going to crack encrypted devices. The man is to remain jailed "until such time that he fully complies" with the decryption order.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for a child pornographer? If he has nothing to hide why not just unlock the hard drives?

Well. CP is like modern heroin. Anyone can put it on you hard-drive through a virus and then get you into jail for "possessing" it. News also give huge advertisement to it by making more potential CP wankers by talking about it like its so cool to get into jail for.

That's why in russia they target websites, not users who visit them, nor they put owners into jail. Just sole ban.

Implying he doesn't hide there secrets on how jews control the government, and got accused of having CP there by jewish spies.

He'd better be learning to draw his own CP so this doesn't happen again. Or maybe he's learning to use Poser.

Of course not, let the chomo burn. It's relevant because they'll likely do the same thing to a government whistle blower or journalist a year or two down the line.

He might be a whistleblower though, he did work in the new jersey police which is notorious for being dirty. That's the problem with these type of crimes. We are officially soviet union now.

good
fuck pedos

yeah, what's the point of encryption if they can lock you up if you don't decrypt?
