Good info, I don't keep anything on my phone that would implicate me in anything. I do not use it for ANY banking and after a career in IT I know better than to use email for something that could get me in trouble. Most people would be vulnerable and knowing that a password is safer than biometrics is valuable information. Thanks for the public service message. See you on the streets Saturday!Hey,
To all my US smoke buds!
Y’all pretty much know where I stand politically. But that’s just me, you are you and I do not, and this is not intend(ed) to influence you, it’s more of a public service announcement. Please take it as such.
If you are planning on attending any of the local festivities planned for this Saturday, or any other time, please be aware of how exposed you phone may be. I know my phone has everything about me on it and I would not want to share that with anyone, especially against my wishes.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has ruled that police officers can compel a suspect to unlock their phone using a fingerprint without violating the Fifth Amendment’s protection against self-incrimination. The same goes for facial recognition. IOW biometric. However, you cannot be compelled to prove the passcode, THAT would be a violation of the 5th amendment.
Just a word to the wise, in these insane times we don’t really know who the good guys are. It behooves us to do what we can to protect ourselves with the rights we still have.
Thanks for listening.
Peace,

Ps. if no one watched or went to a parade did it really happen?
