  • Fun in Britain



    "THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant."

    This might be more interesting then some of the Obama threads.

    I wonder who will be the first to say that honest people have nothing to hide.

    I also know that in Britain it is illegal not to tell the police your passwords if they have a search warrant.

      It's very sad the way the government is raping our civil rights. If our computer police had any kind of resources there might be a small chance they'd get round to actually hacking us. Luckily they are criminally underfunded and underresourced.

      That said, if police have a warrant to search your computer, giving them your passwords doesn't seem unreasonable.

        I think giving your passwords to the police is too close to testifying against yourself. If they want to find anything, they can do it themselves.

          So if you have something locked in a safe, you'd say they couldn't search that (even with a warrant) unless they broke into the safe themselves, because you wouldn't have to give them the key/combination?

              The first right is the hardest to take away. The rest are like dominos. You like it when noise is made about gun control, smoking, etc. but when it hits you personally, it's not so fun.

                Exactly. "I've lost me keys, sorry." I also don't have to say that it is booby-trapped, do I?

                  Fair enough, at least you're consistent.

                    This is crap. I can understand and agree if a warrant is involved (and a specific item is named in the search warrant) Your safe comparison was a good one.

                      I'd decline, unless a specific warrant was produced; then I'd let them decide in court.

                        Writs of Assistance are nothing new to the slaves of George III and his heirs. So why are we surprised?
