Prosecutor trying to force defendant to unlock cell phone - Max Gruver case

OT’s thoughts on this? Is this equivalent to forcing you to testify against yourself? I am assuming they plan to jail him for Contempt until he agrees to unlock the phone. What if he legitimately can’t recall the pass code or just says he can’t remember?

Prosecutors are asking a Baton Rouge judge to order a former LSU student accused of hazing in the September alcohol-related death of freshman fraternity pledge Max Gruver to turn over his cellphone pass code to them. Sean-Paul Gott's cellphone was seized in November pursuant to a court-authorized search warrant, but investigators have been unable to gain access to its contents because the phone is protected by a pass code.
East Baton Rouge Parish Assistant District Attorney Morgan Johnson wrote in a motion Friday that Gott was asked Aug. 13 in open court to provide the pass code to his own, but he refused.

I don't think you should be required to unlock it

IMHO, he shouldn’t be forced to unlock it.
Cops have a problem with it, they can negotiate with Apple or Google for an unlock.
Refusing to use the fingerprint unlock is probably a good idea too because I think they have an easier argument claiming they have a right to your prints than they do to a password in your head.

Why is it even ok to confiscate your home computer?
Posted on 8/20/18 at 1:12 pm to jbgleason
That would require a warrant. You can’t just demand it.

Probably the homicide charge

Prosecutors and Law Enforcement will do anything possible to get a conviction. They are some power hungry scary people.

Pretty sure Apple has said they won’t open the phone if the defendant doesn’t want it opened. Not sure if he has an iPhone or Android though

From what I have heard, if you enter an incorrect code 10 times, it allegedly wipes the phone clean. How "clean" is it really wiped? Does it truly clear all data?
If so, then if they'd ask me, I would "try" a code. Probably would not be correct because my memory is kinda damaged from all of the binge drinking. Let me try 8 more times, then they could decide if they really want to go for a 10th try.

It’s fine if there’s a warrant. Without that, cops and prosecution can’t do shite. I’m the last one you will see talk shite about law enforcement, but I also expect them to do their jobs correctly. Gather evidence, get a warrant.

There is a 100% chance there are dick pics on that phone he doesn’t want shown in court.

frick that. If they can't get him with what they have, he should walk.
