or face a fine

quote:

Under the Customs and Excise Act 2018, which came into force this week, officials will be able to demand travelers unlock any electronic device so it can be searched. Anyone who refuses can face prosecution and a fine of up to $3,200 (5,000 NZD).

Officials can also retain devices and potentially confiscate them from travelers who refuse to allow a search at the border.


quote:

A spokeswoman for New Zealand Customs said the change to the law was necessary as "the shift from paper-based systems to electronic systems has meant that the majority of prohibited material and documents are now stored electronically."

So I learned that LEO's in the US can force you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint (if you have that feature) but they can't force you to enter a passcode

Are you under the impression that New Zealand and Australia are the same country?

I don't agree with it, but it's a different country with different laws.

this has been an issue into the usa for many years. this law into the usa was applied to my girlfriend who is now my wife. she is a canadian citizen and was barred from entery to the usa and accused of illegal immigration when she told the border patrol guard to stop reading her diary, on december 30 1999. she was coming for a visit to spend a month with me in seattle. we were married 6 months later. that is that bullshite.
