BOLLOCKS! The cops will only ask if they have reason to suspect you, if they get it wrong they know you will be able to sue them, etc. The reason the majority of people don't care about things like this is because they know the cops will never have reason to ask after what they have on the computers (encrypted or not).

Hmm, well. In the UK suing the police is a non-trivial matter. And there's also the clause that says you are not allowed to 'tip off' anybody else that you have been asked for your key. I suspect that would be used to disallow any court case against the authorities.
