A man was detained at the Canadian border for refusing to give up his iPhone password
Can border agents compel you to unlock your iPhone? A new case in Canada is testing out the law, with potentially serious repercussions. On Monday, a Quebec man named Alain Philippon refused to give his unlock code at the Canadian border, and was detained on charges of hindering border agents in the performance of their duties. This is the first time a Canadian citizen has been charged for declining to unlock a phone, and the case is expected to break new legal ground. Philippon said he didn’t provide the code because he considers the information on his phone to be “personal.” He was released on bail pending a trial in May.
