Reading the article, the defendant requested his phone from a detective, unlocked it in front of and with the knowledge the detective was watching. Later when the detective was inspecting the phone, he used the password he had seen the defendant use previously to unlock the phone. So it’s not as bad as a cop forcing you to unlock the phone. Good to know that in New Jersey police departments are considered public spaces and treat them accordingly.
i’d like to think that my pattern unlock w/o making the pattern visible would protect me against something like this; but i’m learning that nothing is safe from the authorities.
I had a similar thought, but then I realized you’re probably in a room that’s being recorded.
They could just rewind the video to see what pattern you used.
Maybe if you did it underneath your coat/sweatshirt, then they couldn’t see it at all.
i tried making it complicated too, but i doubt that helps much.
