    So you have to hand over your password if they claim you wont give over your password cause you are hiding CSM?

    also the guy I am thinking of is American… which I cant find, because there are too many stories about Americans being put in jail/prison for ridiculouslylong amounts of time for not giving over passwords

      If the police and/or Crown Prosecution Service claim you’re hiding Material behind a password, you can either hand over the password or get thrown in jail under RIPA §53.

      I don’t know what section of the US Code would apply for the same, but a generic “Obstructing Justice” wouldn’t surprise me.
