The fact he has a 50 character encryption shows he's up to something dodgy. He's clearly either a pervert or a scammer.

However, the police have to prove wrongdoing and do not have the right to expect someone to incriminate themselves. It's the same as the right to silence. People have the right to make the police prove something against them.

I know that this means the odd person will get off scot-free when they're guilty (like me, last time I got nicked. I went no comment, and they had nothing substantial enough to lay a charge) but if you remove this right, the police can apply pressure, and fit people up as used to happen.

This guy will get what's coming to him, if he's guilty. I know it's 50 characters, but it's breakable. He'll not get his machine back, and he will eventually be busted. Crooks that are persistent get caught.

Better ten guilty go free than one innocent gets convicted.
