General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

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"
