A court in Florida has said a suspected voyeur can be made to reveal his iPhone passcode to investigators.
The defendant was arrested after a woman out shopping saw a man crouch down and aim what she believed was a smartphone under her skirt.
Previously, a judge said the defendant could not be made to reveal the code, citing constitutional protections.
That decision has now been reversed by the Florida Court of Appeal's Second District.
Store CCTV captured footage of a man crouched down, holding an illuminated device and moving it towards the victim's skirt, according to court documents published by news site Courthouse News.
Thanks to the fifth amendment he has the right to silence, pieces of shit like that judge can eat his own words. America!?. Not saying the accused isn't probably a scumbag but this is just silly.
They can certainly seize the phone.
Edit. Oh! its from the bbc, they don't understand the bill of rights.
"We have a compelling case against the man with CCTV footage, but I don't really want to work, so I'm just going to go ahead and see if some Judge somewhere will let me violate the constitution to jail this suspected voyeur. Hopefully that sets a precedent for future cases and all I'll ever have to do is start demanding private property and associated passwords and win all my cases - cool." - Some law firm sleaze somewhere.
Nah nobody needs the bill of rights... not like that was added to the constitution so it would be ratified in the first place... not like these things are still relevant today... it's just a document of ideals not laws after all. /s
