    They just accuse you of withholding evidence. Yay for freedom of speech.

      @SupremeDonut@lemmy.ml the courts already decided that it was okay to jail people for literal years for not providing a password: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Rawls

      and there are more:

      • United States v. Fricosu
      • United States v. Doe (2012)
      • United States v. Kirschner

            I assume all PC users are also on watchlists because they can run Linux or BSD too? Even if they haven’t erased Windows yet?

              And old.

              This has been a thing for decades but too few noticed and many more will stay unaware unless it bites them.

        That was a court order though. If there is no court order and no warrant, they shouldn’t be snooping through anything.

          the courts have decided that all ports of entry – including airports – are constitution free zones; meaning that the constitution does not apply there.

          as a result most americans – 2/3rds of them – live in places where the constitution does not apply to them.

            Yeah, this is bananas. Especially when Antifa is labeled as a terrorist group and they say all of us are Antifa
