Given you an update!
The district attorney Rick Watson promised that if I had over the password that they will drop the case, my attorney divulged the password without my permission, then he disengaged and terminated representation of me and sent me a letter asking me to sign a notizared affidavit that would absolve him of any wrongdoing.
I had to end up hiring a new attorney, only to find out that DA lied and refuses to drop the case and instead sent the harddrive to the US secret service now that they have the password and can unlock it. He then stated he was still going to charge me regardless of what the evidence showed.
Please help!

I'm being wrongfully charged with a crime by the Addison PD in Dallas county for merely using encryption on a work computer even though after I was abruptly terminated on false allegations of theft and after I was coerced into writing a check to the owner, the police later came back and said it was a crime to use encryption, even after I already offered and the police agreed to give me the chance to unlock it for the owner. This can't be right. Please see if you can link to it as an article or something to get this publicity and warn other people that something so innocent could get them in so much trouble in our police state!
My website I created to report this injustice!
