  • As a guy who knows nothing about the laws here:

    If those were cops, that search and seizure would be completely illegal and they would get laughed out of court. You can’t force someone to give you their password.

    Now these were border people. That part of the american justice system seems already pretty lawless. Whether or not they are allowed to do what they did will be a central part of the case.

    Also they pressured him to give them the code to unlock the phone and seemingly typed it in themselves. So maybe you can argue that it was their fault for not researching GrapheneOS and they destroyed the evidence.

    This whole thing seems stupid and about some power tripping border-guards.





  • Thousands of women are killed in dowry disputes each year, despite the practice being banned in 1961

    This makes it sound like the murder was legal until '61 but that’s when dowry was banned.

    The study also points to sex-selective abortion becoming more prevalent as a way of avoiding future debt, citing how India’s 2001 census revealed a skewed child sex ratio, with a national average of 927 girls for every 1,000 boys. In one part of Punjab, the number of girls declined to 754 for every 1,000 boys.

    Another society inflicting lasting damage on itself due to antiquated gender roles. Sad to see.
