Refusing to give the police the password to your encrypted files will get you 16 weeks: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/06/jail_password_ripa/

If it was kiddie porn 16 weeks would have been the easy option ?

Apparently, other prisoners take a dim view of kiddie fiddlers in the nick, so if they get to hear what he is suspected of, those 16 weeks will not be very pleasant for him.....

OK, ok, how about this guy: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/11/24/ripa_jfl/

Arrested for carrying a model rocket, cleared of having nine nanograms of explosive on his hand (nanograms, that's 9 thousand-millionths of a gram) and then jailed (for how long, I don't know) and subsequently sectioned for being mentally unwell (which, by the sounds of it, is why he wasn't cooperating with the police).

Still, I'm sure the masses will just believe it is kiddie porn (isn't it always) and totally justified ;)

Better get used to this sort of thing, it's the future of law enforcement  :(

Sadly yup! Given my industry I am completely torn on the subject; on one hand I believe in the right to privacy, on the other hand I support (and encourage) systems that let employers spy on all encrypted traffic leaving their network.. ;D :-X
