Gregory's Server@captainslim @mlanger @holyramenempire @aerosavvy if you're REALLY really concerned about police using your biometrics against your will, just don't use it lol. If you're in a situation where that's a possibility, are you gonna rely on having both the opportunity & the foresight to do a special hard reboot? No. You'll take the more secure & lower stress option of a strong passcode & not be in that kind of bind at all.

@holyramenempire @captainslim @mlanger @aerosavvy yes, that's what's so scary & why I wouldn't want to fall back on a multi-button hard reset. Taking you by surprise, catching people when their down/unprepared is a classic cop move. If you're relying on having those 3+ seconds to hard reset your phone before they take you down & force you to unlock it, don't, because you might not have a few seconds when the time really comes. 🤷 |

imo, both are important things to know (the shortcut and the reasons and ways to avoid the use of face recognition). The awful thing about police abuses of power is that they can happen to literally anyone, any time, even innocent and unrelated people. They just plain get house numbers wrong sometimes.
