Murphy was sentenced to five months in jail for refusing to surrender his iPhone while an Anton Piller order, a kind of civil search warrant, was executed against him early last year, and for deleting data on the phone afterward.
Using an Anton Piller order on a phone, interesting! From what (little) I understand, that was originally to put a hold on disputed commercial cargo that was about to sail out of the jurisdiction. Phones, huh?

Oklahoma’s governor has signed a bill into law defining legal rights for one of the most marginalized groups in the US – cryptocurrency holders.
Beginning November 1, 2024, every Oklahoman will have the inalienable right to self-custody of their digital assets and the right to mine cryptocurrency at home, with the only restriction being that home rigs do not violate local noise ordinances.
Oklahomans are also being granted the right to purchase legal goods and services with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and the government can’t “prohibit, restrict or otherwise impair the ability of an individual” to do so.
For local citizens passionate about digital liberty, the state is prohibited from levying additional taxes or fees on the use of cryptocurrency. Sales tax, yes; energy fees, no.
The law also requires state and local governments to treat commercial-scale crypto mining operations the same as datacenters, and not to establish any “discriminatory rates for digital asset mining businesses.”
Finally, the law absolves both private individuals and service providers who mine or stake cryptocurrency from liability for processing specific transactions.
