I wonder if you could bend the wording as an excuse to seize somebody’s crypto assets for the duration of the investigation and after

so that would make them a good target for ransomware with all of those extra coins. or just hack them to get access to wallets to transfer funds. they are cops after all, so it's doubtful their own OpSec would be very good. Password try 1 "back the blue", Password try 2 "respect my authority"

Well for reference, I knew one guy I went to high school who did remedial classes all his life, then went on to college with a full basketball scholarship with some unbelievably easy business degree only to become a cop.

This kid couldn't write a paper let alone a police report. Boggles my mind why they'd ever let someone like that be a cop. I guess they value people skills over knowing people have rights.

Of all the jobs available, how many people really want a job that is historically known for low pay, long hours, and on more than occassionally requested to put your life on the line? How long did you personally contemplate that as an option? Of all of the people left that didn't say hellznah, fill the positions you have open on your police force. Policing is like politics in this one manner: those who want/seek the job, tend to be those that should never have the job.

Horrifying thought, there are probably active duty cops in the US with the n-word in their password

That actually sounds like a great way to lessen the temptation of sharing passwords.
