Read this in the auto express a couple of weeks ago, was much better write-up. believe the case is been trialed this friday. if they win, it will mean that you cannot be issued with pionts on lic for offence, but you could be fined under civil law instead.

 

good luck! :D

"You should not be made subject to a criminal penalty in order to make you provide information that then forms part of the prosecution case against you."

 

Could have interesting implications for the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 if they win this one...

 

[that's the law that requires you to hand over the unlock codes for any encrypted documents when requested to do so by the Police or face 2 years in gaol - not having the unlock codes in your possession is not an adequate defence, BTW as you have to prove you don't have them, which is logically impossible]
