Suspects can refuse to provide phone passcodes to police, court rules::Phone-unlocking case law is "total mess," may be ripe for Supreme Court review.

Thought this was already established precedent.

Nope, each state is doing its own thing and the 5th ammendment is being trampled in a few of them. Biometrics and passwords are being forced and this is an amazing ruling for 5A advocates like myself.

SC needs to rule on it, but preferably not THIS supreme court

How come there are never 3A advocates? What if I'm really against allowing soldiers to quarter in private homes?

Edit: I probably subconsciously stole this joke from someone/somewhere in case anyone thinks I'm trying to claim it as my own.

I'm sure if the government was doing it's damnedest to house soldiers in our apartments, there'd be more people against it. Unfortunately they're just doing their best to jail anyone they don't like.
