=T I don’t mean to be depressing, but courts don’t limit police power.

Police are an extension of the courts’ power.

    This is why I have a button mapping to hard lock (aka system lock) my phone. I also, set it to hard lock every n days as well.

    Ideally you hard lock all the time, but there’s often a tradeoff between security and useability.

      I’ve always wished my phone had a setting where certain fingerprints would hard lock it instead of unlocking

        My phone will require a passcode if my fingerprint doesn’t register enough times in a row. Maybe you can get similar functionality to what you want by just only registering one of your thumbs or something? I can’t find anyway to turn the number of allowed failures down, though…

        That’s a decent alternative, but it’s got two problems that make it a worse option:

        First, it’s hard to do without looking, like if it’s in your pocket. Also, if someone is watching you, or trying to compel you to unlock your phone, they’ll have a chance to stop you if they’re paying attention.

        Second, that doesn’t actually work for me on my version of Android. xD

          At least on samsung, its a setting you have to enable - “Show Lockdown option” under “Secure lock settings”

          Once enabled, it shows up in the power off menu.

      well yeah, but they didn’t use that anywhere in their legal justification. they’re claiming the authority to treat anyone in this way.

    i once saw a squad of correctional officers break a mans jaw open because he refused a DNA test, and that was like 5 years ago, in case anyone was wondering why I treat court rulings like this as purely retroactive legalization of behavior that is already commonplace.
