We can't negotiate with ISIS because they're fascists to the core, the point of their existence is violence.

He says he is a feminist, but does not cry often. He is asked to look at a photo of Ant and Dec, but he does not know who they are. “I apologise humbly to Ant and Dec,” he says.

Good idea. Off you go, let us know how you're getting on. ISIS will be more than willing to help in that, they'll even make a video.

That's conflating two different issues though. Most countries agree that anything physical that you have can be warranted even if it would incriminate you. A key to a safe, a device like an RSA token or even your fingerprint to unlock a biometrical locked device are things that you have and you have to cooperate with the courts. The other issue is whether content of your mind can be warranted for possible self-incrimination. It's a contested issue if you have to actively remember stuff like a password and I would argue that if that isn't self-incrimination then you pretty much gut the whole concept of it. If the police wants to access the contents of locked physical devices they are welcome to try to overcome the encryption but expecting your cooperation is worrying.

But that was a legal question settled within months of the first combination lock being sold. If the way into a warranted premises is only in someone's mind they still have to open it up. RIPA Ch.3 was about codifying the previously common-law offence in a new context to avoid throwing the dice in court, as has tended to be the trend in English law since World War 2.

Guavanaut posted:

In the case in question what the CACP want amounts to the powers given under RIPA in the UK, that an individual can be compelled on pain of criminal charge to hand over an encryption password, which does not currently exist in Canada. Opponents are saying that it amounts to self-incrimination, and therefore should not be allowed. That's similar to what Liberty said in the UK, but they were going against far more powerful forces than a police chiefs' lobby and during a period of mass moral panic, so it fell on deaf ears. That's the bit that I'm hoping falls flat on its rear end.

In the case of compelling a service provider to hand over information, that's the bit that has just been declared unconstitutional without a warrant, one with proper judicial review rather than rubberstamped. That's a different issue to the self-incrimination one, but exists in the same arena, and also one where Canada diverges from recent UK policy.

You can set a precedent in more ways than through common law court cases, if Canada plays hardball against the police chiefs on the first issue, especially during a time when the UK is discussing entry into the European marketplace on the Canadian treaty model spearheaded by someone who both thinks that entry into the European marketplace on the Canadian treaty model is realistic and is also outspoken on civil liberties, and during a time that the EU themselves have said that government-mandated backdoors and forced decryption are bad, it could lead to some policy backtracking.

I don't know enough about Canadian law to comment on the exact circumstances, but I strongly suspect requiring full judicial review (or anything other than a rubberstamp with review at trial) of disclosure will last about ten seconds when they realise just how large a task that is. When simple traffic offences can require dozens of disclosure notices (checking phone records to see if a device was in use can take 5 or 10 requests on it's own) then unless you're going to employ hundreds of new judges it'll fall to pieces immediately.

The vast, vast majority of RIPA Ch.2 disclosures are this sort of very simple thing. The IP Bill does address some of the more contentious edge cases around using that data in ways that represent a more severe infringement on civil rights, and I'll be very surprised if the Canadians don't settle on to that sort of system (or perhaps the one in most of the USA where it's handled as an administrative subpoena - effectively the same thing but with even less oversight).

And Canada forcing us to drop RIPA as part of a trade deal (which just isn't going to happen, but let's play along for the sake of the argument) wouldn't be setting a precedent by any sane interpretation of the words or the concept.

Canada won't force the UK to drop RIPA as part of a trade deal with them. The EU might force the UK to harmonize data law as part of any new trade deal with them though, which if the EU continues with their interpretation of known vs. possessed things in the absence of UK input, in combination with the North American model, might set a (social/cultural) precedent that causes the UK to reinterpret the current legislation of mandatory disclosure and other more recent legislation on encrypted data (which may or may not include all data which is not data).

If won, it is at the very least an encouraging sign of pushback against self-incrimination based on thought, which will hopefully spread.

As abysmal as these are for labour its not totally surprising. In here job as PM May has blocked chinese spies from melting down power plants and hosed of on holiday, there really isn't much yet (that can't be pawned of as a continuation of the last government) to actually be dissatisfied with.

Even as someone who despises May from her time at the Home Office if someone rang me up and asked me I wouldn't really say I was dissatisfied with what has happened so far perhaps because I'm dreading whats still to come :ssh:

Similarly, I'm not too terribly pissed off with her except for one glaring omission that she didn't replace Hunt.

I'm sure there are things that are going on backstage which will piss me right off when they become public knowledge, but mostly right now things have been pretty quiet.

I mean, if I was polled I'd probably say I was dissatisfied on principle, so
