Except shoot you because they are afraid you are reaching for a gun. Last thing in the world I would do when a cop says, "put your is hand up," is reach into my pocket.
- valuearb 9y agoHow many times have you had a cop point a gun at you or order you to hold your hands up? You are worried about a tiny percentage of cases. Most people are worried about border agents (who have authority as much as 100 miles inland) or cops in traffic stops asking to see their phones. 99% of the time you will be able to hand them the phone and disable it before they get it. They aren't allowed to ask you for the pin-code, so it's game-set-match at that point.

- _ph_ 9y agoIf you want to protect against a police who at gun point would not allow you yourself to retrieve your phone from your pocket, but rather search you an take it themselves, you should not use any biometric feature, be it FaceID or TouchID. They can force you to put your fingerprints on the phone. You should then just use a long and secure pin code, which they currently cannot obtain legally from you.
