In the UK, You Will Go to Jail Not Just for Encryption, but for Noise, Too

Write your key into 2 pieces of paper. Mark one as part 1 out of 2, the other as part 2 of 2. Make you write something like "please note that if I am not served with the appropriate RIPA key disclosure when this equipment is seized I will destroy the other part of the key and this piece of paper proves beyond reasonable doubt that I am not in possession of said key"

Keep one piece with you at all times and be ready to destroy it. Write a post on Hacker News explaining what you would do.

Now you don't go to jail. And you can live like Jason Bourne.

PS. Or move to a real democratic country... ?

Can you then be incriminated for destruction of evidence?

I don't suppose, if you're not aware of any investigation against you. Besides that you don't have to testify against yourself (in a functioning democracy that is)

Edit: obligatory IANAL :)
