And they would have likely taken all your shit as a punitive measure had you not complied. (I, too, run FDE on everything I own at home.)

All things considered, this dude dodged a bullet. I don't know if he was acting under the advice of counsel, but he came out relatively unscathed. This time.

This might be a shot across the bow designed to frighten those without the deep pockets of Apple. Just a reminder that The Man still has teeth when it comes to the 99%.

Now imagine what other abuses they can have.

"We can seize all this money and put you in jail, or you can decide to talk to use without a lawyer and we'll let it all stay."

Coercing rights away is never a good situation to allow. Not that he was wrong in accepting it, but that the police were wrong in being able to offer the option.
