Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.

    Do they return the device afterwards like “oh well, here ya go then” durp durp. Or do they keep it “for evidence” out of spite?

        To get back the seized property, owners must prove it was not involved in criminal activity.

        Well, that just sounds amazing and not at all exploitable

          Seems a bit opposite of the whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing

            Seized property under rico works the exact opposite, you have to prove your property innocent.

      I once met a guy who robbed a bank with a fake gun. (There was once an article somewhere but this was maybe 12 years ago.) He did some time in prison and he said they gave him the fake gun back afterwards.

      Why would they give you your shit back? They’re cops, not humans.

      They beat you to death with the phone and then rape your wife with it.
