Criminals and bad police just love that everyone thinks that.
From your point of view, the logic goes "the chances are low that I'll ever be in one of those situations". Well gee, how nice for you.
But for the bad cop, you created the condition that wherever they go, whoever they DO happen to interact with, they always get away with whatever they want. They swim in a sea of all open book victims. The people they do abuse all think the same thing you do.
You should generally be worried about your house burning down even if your house has never burned down.
- rocket_surgeron 4y agoThis incident does not seem a common-enough occurrence to change my behavior. That would be like euthanizing every dog on earth because a person might be killed by one. ~30,000 people are killed by dogs every year. How many times annually do people have their phones unlocked by police without their consent?
- xypage 4y agoThis analogy doesn't work because you're comparing euthanizing dogs to using a secure password instead of face ID, one of which ends a life and the other is a mild inconvenience (we all used to use pins before touch ID was normalized, it takes less than a second to enter a password that you've got down to muscle memory). Yeah, we can't make all our choices in life based on an off chance, but when it's this simple it's easily worthwhile
- taylodl 4y agoYou are assuming evidence obtained from the phone in this manner would be permissible in court. I don't know that this has ever been tried in court. Do you?
- Brian_K_White 4y agoI am not assuming anything, and no such assumption is necessary.
