countries. I believe the reasoning goes along the lines of: they  
have an
urgent suspicion that there is evidence against you (the encrypted
partition ), so they can put you into 'Beugehaft' (= coercive  
detention)
As I understand it, this cannot happen that way in Germany! If your  
e.g. friend are under investigation and they mean *you* have anything  
to tell to help them (e.g. you having the passphrase to your friend's  
crypto container), they can put you into coercive detention, if you  
do not want to coorperate.

But if they suspect *you* have done something criminal, they cannot  
force you to help them to get any evidence against you!

But I am not a lawyer, so I may err here ...
