  • Pragmatically, is that really any different with a passcode? Someone might not be able to physically force an unlock like with biometrics by moving the relevant body part over, but there’s certainly nothing stopping someone from forcing you to unlock your phone if you had a passcode through by duress. Most thieves would have certainly wised up enough to force you to remove your passcode before leaving, or they’d watch you unlock your phone, and figured out the passcode that way.

    I rather doubt that, if in that kind of situation, there would be many who would resist. Your phone is not worth your life for most.

    Personally, if I wasn’t doing anything sensitive, like travelling through some countries (like Australia/the US) or going to a protest, I’d probably keep it on. The convenience makes up for it for the most part.




  • If you were powerful enough, sure. The court is only as strong as its ability to enforce a punishment.

    The president is exempt from criminal prosecution for things they did as part of their duties, and if no-one is willing to impeach or impose other punishments, they can be as contemptuous as they like. How would the court stop then?

    This seems unrealistically convoluted, to the level of someone who’s just looking for evidence of a conspiracy. A gang symbol is a bit rubbish if you need a cryptography manual to identify it. The whole point of a gang symbol is to advertise that you belong to the gang.

    You could probably find a trifecta of 3s and link him to the Illuminati if you tried hard enough.
