FWIW the chap in this story pinged me on Twitter after 
the incident and we spoke not long afterwards. The 
version of the incident he related to me differed from 
what he claimed on Twitter and from the events described 
in The Guardian. As he could not explain the discrepancy 
between his Tweets and account related to me, I did not 
write the story.

Ok, he built up the situation from what actually 
happened for celebrity?

However, if this is true:

"...the penalties for individuals refusing to provide
access to the ABF to evidence held in a device – for
example, refusing to share their password to unlock a
device – would be up to five years’ imprisonment, or
10 for serious offences." 

It doesn't matter about a publicity hound.  That's just
crazy to lock up someone for 5-10 years for trying to
maintain their privacy in the face of having done 
nothing wrong!  They want that with no apparent 
justifiable cause!  Red underwear on one's head comes 
to mind...

Holy Crap! Talking about the time not fitting crime!

"...the penalties for individuals refusing to provide
access to the ABF to evidence held in a device – for
example, refusing to share their password to unlock a
device – would be up to five years’ imprisonment, or
10 for serious offences."
