Won't they just keep you locked up perpetually for refusing then?
They might also just shoot you.
Yeah, and I'll appeal the case all the way up to the Supreme Court. I have a constitutional right to not say a goddamn thing. The founding fathers knew what passwords and cyphers were. If they wanted to allow the state to compel you to give them access to information that they could use against you in court, they would have written that into the fifth amendment.
Dunno, bit that's a risk I'm willing to take to maintain my 4th ammendment right.
