The Miami Herald is reporting that a man suspected of child abuse has been sentenced to 180 days in jail because he did not give the police a working security code to access his iPhone. No matter your thoughts on this, there is absolutely no doubt that we are going to be seeing more and more of this and it brings up some rights that are spelled out in our US Constitution. I would expect that we will be seeing a high profile US Supreme Court case soon that will spell out exactly how the law will be applied in the future. A Hollywood man must serve 180 days in jail for refusing to give up his iPhone password to police, a Broward judge ruled Tuesday — the latest salvo in intensifying legal battles over law-enforcement access to smart phones. Christopher Wheeler, 41, was taken into custody in a Broward Circuit Court, insisting he had already provided the pass code to police investigating him for child abuse, although the number did not work.
