The thing is if it were you or I being investigated, we'd have the RIP Act thrown at us with the threat of a custodial sentence, no doubt, for not revealing the password.
Which in it self is an offence. https://www.saunders.co.uk/news/prosecuted-for-your-password/
Not that I agree with this law, but it should be applied to our ex PM who brought in similar laws
What a twat. So what are the bets on how long it will be until they get proof that he has logged into his phone and this is all bollocks?
12 hours, 24 hours something like that?
Then he'll say in public something like 'this is utter and absolute poppy piffle' and in private he'll say sorry and think up what his next line of sorry not sorry bs is going to be. It's what he's always done.
It is being held at a solicitors. He does not have access to it without. If he requests access, then it will be recorded.

nice! thanks for this.
It's definitely 00769.
I imagine "sorry I forgot my password" comes up a lot in police investigations, I imagine it wouldn't slow down the computer forensics team much.
Forget the forensics guys, if he keeps this up they'll be prepping the rubber hose and dentistry tools guys.
Perhaps we could skip the forensics?
Phones are well encrypted, they need the password
No, you can crack them with the right forensic tools, it just costs. I imagine of they tell BoJo they can unlock his phone but they'll charge him £50k to do it, he'll "find" his password tucked down the side of a mistress.
Only if the phone hasn't been powered off or "locked-down"
And as we all know, we can trust what he says
That photo of Boris is great. No really a ladies' man... more like my Nan.
isn't that a bit mean on your nan?
His nan is Margaret Thatcher.
Blimey! I hope not. :)
He's such a slippery, floppy haired git. The pins probably his mistress of the times measurements
I will save everyone a lot of time, it's 69420
The phone can be imaged then brute-forced, I imagine that this is more distraction. I'm not sure how but then I didn't really understand the whole cardboard bus thing.
