Re: I don't care what he's been accused of

"When we lost the right to silence with the password law that should have been a red flag to everyone."

The right to silence was already long gone when they introduced the new law which *requires* you to give up passwords and PINs

"if you do not mention anything now which you later rely on in court, it *may* harm your defence" (my emphasis.) The password reveal thing is an automatic "go to jail" if you don't answer, not a "may harm your defence" thing, subtly different with far worse consequences.
