What happens when I have a passphrase that's a confession to a crime that I was forced to provide?

What if I forgot my passphrase due to the stress and trauma of being associated with a horrible event or merely at the stress of being detained?

What if the passphrase was set by my wife and I, a personal and private communication that is not in direct association with the crime under investigation?

Would be nice if you could not turn my individual liberties into Swiss cheese.

The answer to all of those is they probably beat you with a stick.

Popo stick with special bash in’ handle. To give you the right kind of leverage over the prostrate individual’s face.

If you're rich you get off, if you're poor you go to jail for a very long time. In the US at least.
