Nice story bro,... but not true, first you have to be under investigation for a crime, and the contents of the locked device deemed to be evidence, then a section 49 notice to divulge the password is issued, and if the password isn't divulged, section 53 allows for up to 5 years for national security or kiddie pr0n, and just two years for regular crimes.
