I mean, whether you say it's legal or not, I wouldn't give out my pass code to a police officer. You can get fucked on that one.

Won't they just keep you locked up perpetually for refusing then?

Yeah, and I'll appeal the case all the way up to the Supreme Court. I have a constitutional right to not say a goddamn thing. The founding fathers knew what passwords and cyphers were. If they wanted to allow the state to compel you to give them access to information that they could use against you in court, they would have written that into the fifth amendment.
