Ack.

Right to not self incriminate.

Right to freedom of communication.

Right to freely associate with other humans (big one under attack
here in Australia).

Right to choose which (if any) implement is inserted into any orifice
of my body (the old breath testing units, some still used today).

Right to choose which (if any) medications go into my body.


and plenty more... we are in a war, right now, though few recognise
this fact

And now the new "iphone X" unlocks just by looking at it.

Cops already have no problem strong arming a finger print,
this facial scan shit seems like a horrible idea.

What of integration with a sort of warrant canary numbers station...
And your own heuristic "you recognizer"...


Point of articles is: that in your brain is historically protected
such that ruberhose isn't even tried because it's plainly not legal.
These cases are trying to rubberhose that protection away by
bench legislation, and generally further destroy other protections
on the slope. That's beyond bad.

The answer seems to be yes and no. But one suspect on Tuesday gets 180
days jail.



This has probably been discussed before, many times, my current thought is that 
devices which depend on passwords should pick up an additional hard-to-guess 
combination, through your local Wifi.  Separate your device from this stream 
for "too long", and your usual passwords will cease to work.  At that point, 
you'll have to enter a code:Fanciful example:  Get a scientific  calculator.  
Enter a 10 digit number you'll remember:   Example:  1234567890.  Press a 
function, say SQRT.  Then press another, say Log(10), then press Sin(x).  (or 
any other series of unary operations, and of whatever quantity and order.)  The 
resulting 10-digit code is what  you have to add, in addition to your usual 
code, to return that device to proper functioning.  Or, the last two 10-digit 
codes.  These numbers are at least conceivably memorizable, but in practice few 
would attempt to memorize them.  
If you are put into a position where they demand to get the code, the lawyer 
says, "The device is regularly fed by wireless means, keeping it unlocked and 
ready for presentation of  a password.  After days in authorities' hands, the 
device has "decided" that it is no longer "safe", and has locked itself.  The 
use of his usual password will not unlock the device.  My client, on a regular 
basis, does not rely on his memory to return the device to functioning, he 
needs other means which are not available to him now, and will not be employed 
while he is in custody."
