Yes, unfortunately. > If you're in possession of documents > that are relevant to a police investigation, you can be ordered to > produce them, and so on and so on. No, not here. When the police thinks I have such documents they can get a search order, but if they can't find them and I remain silent it's too bad for them. I am not in violation of any law when I don't give them, not even when they later find out I did have them. Same for when I would destroy or encrypt said documents after I found out the police was looking for them. > Keep in mind that the idea of a subpoena duces tecum is so > uncontroversial that it's been formalized in *two* separate Hague > conventions: the Hague Service Convention and the Hague Evidence > Convention.
