i did not say trouble with the software itself, more a problem with the police in a bad way.

Warrantless search. Inadmissible.

to me, #biometric unlocking, is unsafe, you see a lot of unauthorised unlocking from restrained, sleeping, dead, or drunken people from either face or fingerprint to unlock a device.

it was established a few years ago that law enforcement in the usa do not need a warrant for biometric unlocking, but need warrant if a password is enabled, to unlock a device.
