Honestly, that's not something you can expect from regular non-power users. Full-disk encryption isn't enabled by default on most consumer laptops, and few regular users go out of their way to set it up.
Full disk encryption is the default on MacOS Mojave.
But many people don't use a strong password/phrase.

You will never be able to prove parallel construction happened.
edit: wrote comment about Herring v. United States but this is a Canadian case.
This is hosted on CBC (Canada broadcasting corp) and clearly this is about the "Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)"
what does US laws have to do with this?

>> Can this be used to get whatever case(es) he was defending thrown out because solicitor-client privilege was violated or parallel construction was used? That isn't what this is about. Nobody is talking about what this is really about and it isn't anything to do with him being a lawyer. This guy (1) was traveling alone (2) to a distant (3) and poor (4) country without preexisting business ties (5). Those are all re…
What is wrong with sex tourism?
Travelling abroad as a tourist for sex, with willing and legal participants, is obviously fine.

Guatemala is well known as a drug transport point. Plenty of the politicians there were caught being directly involved. Which, along with other contraband, accounts for the majority of the customs actual work and far more likely to be the concern with any traveller from there: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-guatemala-politics/guatem... https://www.insightcrime.org/investigations/the-zetas-in-gua... http://latinal…
Don't use american definitions of "probably cause". Canada is a different country and defines probably cause very differently. Canada has a different relationship with its boarders than America. The physical scale is are different. Sovereignty is different. Canada's "charter rights" are different than american "constitutional" rights. Canada placed greater trust in individual enforcement officers and, generally, does…

This is not some unique American concept. Otherwise I don't see what point you're trying to make...

Yikes. In case you're serious, it's the slavery, and children.

What is wrong with sex tourism?
Really? I think you know. I'm not going to spell it out. Edit: fine. I guess some people here need the talk . This is about the phenomena of men traveling from rich countries to poor countries to engage in sex with children. Not this guy, but it does happen. These men often return with digital images stored on laptops and cellphones. Possession of such images is illegal in canada and so Canadian boarder services targ…

I for one did not immediately equate sex tourism with child slavery or pedophilia until I saw your sibling comment.

Probable cause is a core part of the Canadian charter: > 3) based on reasonable and probable grounds to believe that an offence has been committed and there is evidence to be found at the place to be search. https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/rfc-dlc/ccrf-ccdl/chec...

In other words, just because this kind of profiling wouldn’t constitute probable cause in the US, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t constitute probable cause in Canada. (I’m not sure that it does constitute probable cause in Canada; I just don’t know for sure that it doesn’t.)

What is wrong with sex tourism?
A relatively wealthy, privileged person going someplace poor for sex is probably doing it because it facilitates doing rather nasty things in a way that is comfortable for them. They don't need to be ugly about it. Someone else will be ugly about it on their behalf while making them feel great about spreading their money around.
This often means they are raping children or otherwise indulging sexual predilections too unseemly for sex workers in more well-heeled parts of the world.
So sex tourism is generally understood to be a polite term for exceedingly depraved behavior with a veneer of civility.
I have asked this question before, but never really got a satisfiable answer: why do governments (not just USA/canada) spend these resources to check data physically at a border? It's not like you need to 'smuggle' any form of data physically. I mean, any data considered to be dangerous (like terrorist attack plans, atomic bomb designs or political inside information) can be accessed across borders via the internet.…
They have shown this very thing on the show where they found on their device that they were making these arrangements. It seemed very invasive and disturbing. They got their password and were looking at their phone and laptop in a backroom. The traveller didn't even get to see what they are doing or anything.
I don't have anything to hide, but I would never feel comfortable with ANYONE having free reign over my unlocked devices, especially not a government border agent doing it behind closed doors.
