It is my promise that if I every have standing to sue for violation of my constitutional rights, any agents of law enforcement or the government involved will be married to my case for years. I will not let it go. I will not settle. I will be a fucking problem. You'll think of my name when you're lying in bed at night. If you're reading this right now on my phone that you confiscated for no justifiable legal cause, you've been warned.
You'll get nowhere because of the Border search exemption
"Ohhhhhh, you actually believed all that freedom crap? Lol. Lmao. We've got about three thousand asterisks and terms and conditions apply on every part of the bill of rights."
They've so thoroughly built in so many shitty little backdoors into the constitution that it's basically just a joke that only rich people are in on at this point.
So they can force you to unlock your phone?
If you use fingerprint or facial unlock, yes
Hmm. There is some brolegal advice (brolegal because I can’t verify it other than people talking about it on the internet) that suggests hard locking your phone may prevent access by LEO. IOW forcing the phone to require a code entry to unlock it by resetting/power off/on the phone so that faceID and fingerprint no longer work.
I've NEVER allowed fingerprint or facial rec on any of my phones. I just got a new one, and I skipped right over that page. You are going to have to be nice enough to me that I will give you my password and pattern.
