OT Lawyers - IPhone Face ID and police?
Posted on 12/27/19 at 2:26 pm

The issue of police demanding a passcode has been litigated in most jurisdictions but has anyone heard of a case involving Facial Recognition software?
I am curious if there has been a case where the police have held an iPhone up to a suspects face in order to unlock it and/or required a suspect to unlock with their face via warrant.

This is why I don't use facial recognition on my phone.
Much cheaper than litigating all the way to a court of appeals or god forbid the Supreme Court.

I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'll find a case or two somewhere in the country. I think most agencies are too scared of litigation to be that bold.

I originally activated it wearing my glasses thinking I could subvert any attempts to use it when I wasn’t wearing them. Then they built software that compensates for that issue.

I think because facial recognition is passive and you don't have to do anything it would be ok. I think courts have ruled that you cannot force someone to use their finger to unlock the phone because they actually have to take an action.

Does Face ID work with your eyes closed?

Yes. Tried that to fool it. Didn’t work.

Biometrics are not protected under the fifth amendment because large points of entry, casinos and hotels already can pay for software that scans your face with their security cameras.
So use a pin code always because it is assumed that you could use it for personal finances therefore it is protected under your fifth amendment rights.
Lesson is don't use any biometrics to authenticate in anything you have nefarious shite in. also don't be nefarious frick and you never have to worry.

What kind of shenanigans are you getting into where you might want to “protect” yourself from law enforcement needing to access your phone for evidence?
Dick pics?
Upskirts?
It’s ok to confess here. You’re completely anonymous.

What if you make a really distorted face, does it recognize that? IDK of any cop that could force you to make a normal looking face

lol I'm sorry, I'm just screwing with you

Easy way to prevent LEO’s to look at your phone. Don’t do anything illegal.

If you have Face ID set up correctly it won’t unlock even if you’re not looking directly at it. Either it recognized you before you closed your eyes or you don’t have it set up to require your attention.

Don’t do illegal things and this will never happen to you.

I mean... it's not like that would stop them. The ol' 'Oh, I ran the guy's license plate and it turned up stolen/unregistered but when I went to confirm later it was a-okay' trick is widely used by Louisiana law enforcement to stop vehicles where there would otherwise be no reasonable suspicion. Not much of a stretch for 'Oh, I guess the guy looked at his phone by accident and we just found it unlocked' trick to be added to the repertoire.
