You need to read the decision. Parolee.

“This why my iPhone is unlocked by pass code only; not thumbprint nor facial ID.”

What are you out on parole from?

Seriously, if I'm ever in a situation where I'm concerned police (or anyone else stronger than I am) appear likely to demand access to my phone, my plan is to immediately smash it on the nearest concrete or with the nearest rock or similar object.

Not because I have anything incriminating or illegal on it, but because phones are the gateway to our finances and identity; there are plenty of bad cops out there, and I just can't take the risk of what could happen if my phone fell into _anyone_ elses' hands.

I love how keyboard lawyers make decisions without knowing the facts.

“Correct. This decision is highly problematical. Might be reviewed by SCOTUS.”

Nope. Read the frickin’ decision!

They can do the same with your face.

They cannot, however, make you give them your password.

So just set a typed password and turn off the other features

Lol... Do you actually believe this practice is acceptable?

Wait until they check to see if you frequent conservative sites. This is DANGEROUS to allow and/or think is acceptable and need to be nipped in the bud before it goes any further.

The only thing I do on my phone is a text message and go to a few websites.

Doesn’t matter what they ruled... Wrong is wrong period. There is no gray area or compromise with the concept of wrong.

And if they allow this it is wrong. Full stop...
