I have put dashcams (interior/exterior) in all of our vehicles, both due to LEO interaction as well as being an LTC holder. In the event of a Law Enforcement encounter, I power off my phone as soon as I can do so safely without presenting as "reaching".
A powered down/rebooted phone cannot be unlocked via BIometrics the first time it starts. This prevents someone from using a fingerprint or facial recognition (suggestion: shut that shit off!) to unlock your phone against your will so as to extract information. I highly suggest turning encryption ON to make it harder for someone to obtain your data.
In the current climate, I would also file an immediate FOIA request or similar action in your local jurisdiction for bodycam footage on even a "routine" traffic stop.
Blue isn't necessarily the "bad guy" but we are in tough times right now.
Your Mission or Your Oath; Make your choice, son.
I have an older phone but presumably you could also just turn those biometric features off, right?
Yes. I won't tell other people what to do, but I advise clients to shut that face recognition off, stat. Too easy to compromise.
The fingerprint reader, while convenient could be considered an issue. It is a risk but a measured one that is easier to manage than facial recognition. Don't get pass-out drunk and let people have your phone.
Powering down and forcing a Passcode/Pattern to startup is the best bet as I see it today. So far courts have not compelled many Citizens to unlock their phones. I don't envision a traffic stop getting to that level.
just wait til 2 more years of biden, LOL. hes already trying to decree what medical procedures companies have to force on their employees.... its downwind of tyranny from here, bro.
