Man jailed indefinitely for refusing to decrypt hard drives loses appeal
This reads as extremely bizarre. I mean, reading the fifth amendment makes it pretty clear - no one should be compelled to witness against oneself. However, it looks like the current executive and judicial are thinking &quot;well, those Founders were just idiots for putting such an amendment in, clearly it&#x27;d be much easier to prosecute people if we could compel them to witness against themselves, so why don&#x27;t we just ignore it and put people in jail indefinitely until they agree to witness against themselves?&quot;. Terrifying that it is so easy for them to completely ignore all constitutional protections.
