I think I have to disagree with the judge in this case, especially with this reasoning. If the prosecution already know what they need to know, then they don't need the computer unlocked. If they don't know something, isn't it forcing her to incriminate herself by unlocking the PC?
On the other hand, how is that different from subpoenaing records? If the person had records inside of a locked safe, would case law support or not support compelling the person to unlock the safe?
At any rate, watching the appeals will be interesting, too. #ddtb
