Hi ****! It seems like your message got cut off. Could you please provide more details about your legal issue so I can assist you better?
I was detained by police and they wanted me to provide my passcode for my iPhone and I refused. They said they were going to get a search warrant to get my passcode on my iPhone. But they let me go
Hey ****! In Tennessee, you have the right to remain silent and not incriminate yourself under the Fifth Amendment. Providing your phone passcode falls under this protection. However, police can obtain a search warrant to access your phone. Did they mention getting a search warrant, or did they let you go without further action?
They let me go while waiting on the judge to issue a warrant. How should I handle this
