It’s definitely 00769.

I imagine “sorry I forgot my password” comes up a lot in police investigations, I imagine it wouldn’t slow down the computer forensics team much.

Phones are well encrypted, they need the password

No, you can crack them with the right forensic tools, it just costs. I imagine of they tell BoJo they can unlock his phone but they’ll charge him £50k to do it, he’ll “find” his password tucked down the side of a mistress.

Only if the phone hasn’t been powered off or “locked-down”

Forget the forensics guys, if he keeps this up they’ll be prepping the rubber hose and dentistry tools guys.

Perhaps we could skip the forensics?

Not that I agree with this law, but it should be applied to our ex PM who brought in similar laws

Would that apply in this kind of thing? I.e it’s not a criminal matter

What you mean as in government asking for your password and you telling them you can’t give it up. OFC it applies. The problem is the impetus from government to enforce the law.

I meant as in it’s an inquiry not a criminal case, so wasn’t sure how much they could compel someone to release it. If the law is applicable though then yeah it’s not a good look for the government not to be seen to enforce it.

What a twat. So what are the bets on how long it will be until they get proof that he has logged into his phone and this is all bollocks?

It is being held at a solicitors. He does not have access to it without. If he requests access, then it will be recorded.

12 hours, 24 hours something like that?

Then he’ll say in public something like ‘this is utter and absolute poppy piffle’ and in private he’ll say sorry and think up what his next line of sorry not sorry bs is going to be. It’s what he’s always done.

He’s such a slippery, floppy haired git. The pins probably his mistress of the times measurements
