I'm wondering if the smarter move is to use an obvious duress password, like 1111 and just give it to them. Graphene is pretty secure if you have the USB set up properly, and you have the right to remain silent. Problem is with borders is they can just really F with you, make you miss connections, ...

"For example, would it be considered destruction of evidence if a defendant had written it on the back of the phone and the officers assumed it was the correct PIN?" Yeah, great, wife and daughter would wipe my phone on day 1 and randos on day 4.

Nice reminder to just wipe it ahead of time and store your backups on a server you can access remotely once you get where you're going. Phones are an awful place to store data anyway. Though admittedly I'm not sure of the fastest way to restore said backups -- seems like convenience is the big thi...

Next stop: man jailed for posessing a bricked phone

Does the constitutional right to remain silent cover pin codes and passwords? 🤔

Sounds to me like having pixel as your phone is a reason for suspecting & searching ?

Should a second, "mainstream" profile with nothing interesting, be a better option than an wiped option?

Good for him.

Actually the better duress pin is fully deniable encryption: you set certain policies on data, you insert a pin and only the data tied to that pin are visible. Those who see can't tell if there is something else hidden. This way you're compliant and yet still private.

too bad it couldn't have dual boot based on the pass code. use one code, get one os, use another get a different one. hmmm

It reads a bit like the border agents entered the duress pin. Shouldn’t he be charging the border agents with destruction of property?

> The charge treats the alleged wipe as destruction of property intended to prevent a government seizure. This does not seem like it fits the situation. The phone did not get destroyed. He just deleted data. Is data considered property? If yes, is not the burden of proof on them to show what he des...

How about just have the absolut necessary things on the phone before crossing a border?

Everyone should do the same thing.

So what happens if you wipe your phone before the border search? Is it probable cause because you have a suspiciously fresh os and no contacts etc...?

The the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution also states that “No person … shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself…”. He shouldn't be compelled to give the correct PIN which could incriminate himself. Doesn't he have the presumption of innocence? The burden ...

“We own your property” — U.S. Thugs …Anyone who supports this is a proud slave.

Sounds like the state eased his phone. Sounds like it’s their problem.

Well, they usually set the first case as an example so God be with him

You are not going anywhere without studying all natural law principles and acting as man

I'm probably misremembering, but if I heard correctly, he provided the duress PIN to an officer and the officer wiped the phone, incidentally.
