#commonlawrights — Public Fediverse posts

I remember a time decades ago when NSW was considered a police state where crooked cops was a systemic problem. It doesn’t look like it has changed much. Worse, the police now tramples on common law rights…

“The October 2022-enacted digital evidence access order regime provides that police can obtain a DEAO when executing search and crime scene warrants, and if the subject of the order refuses this, then it’s an offence carrying up to 5 years prison time. And as the section containing this criminal offence notes, this measure overrides the common law right against self-incrimination.

However, once NSW police officers have obtained access to a suspect’s phone, they don’t simply scroll through the owner’s latest social media posts, as rather, they employ a device and software developed by Israeli digital forensics company Cellebrite that once connected to a civilian’s phone downloads its entire content, including all deleted messages and images.”

How good are ‘panick buttons’, those that wipe a mobile clean as the push of a button? Not that I’d necessarliy consider it on my mobile, but you never know, right? I can’t see Police powers being roled back anytime soon, quite the contrary, expansion of those powers seems inevitable while #Minns is in charge.
