> Security sources said the person refusing to surrender their password would have to be a suspect in a crime and trying to obstruct the investigation of that core offence before they would be convicted over the password refusal.

What does suspect mean? Is it up to the police officer or up to a judge? Is it the case the police can come to you, grab your phone, ask for your password and assuming you refuse, they put you 5 years in jail? Or is this closer to the police asking a judge to grant permission to compell you to give your password. I guess what I am asking is, is there due process here?

I am reading The 48 laws of power by Robert Greene. It is a book containing historical anecdotes regarding different attitudes and behaviours one should be aware if if one embarks on a quest for power. I am half way through it and so far it is certainly an interesting read. While in todays society ( perhaps in all ages? ) the advice there would be shunned, I perfonally find it very interesting a enjoy applying, at least in part, the lessons learned by reading this book.

If I could give it a short description, it's pretty much the modern equivalent of The Prince and i highly reccomend it to everyone!
