@majorlinux Well kind of? It's really depending on what scenario you're trying to imply, if you're a highly targeted individual who got interrogated for something; they can't force you to put your passcode, but they're allowed to force you to use biometrics for unlocking

Assuming you're in AFU mode, the police are allowed to force you to unlock your phone with biometrics

@majorlinux of course you can !

Unless if they’re paying for the Apple Unlock+ Subscription or if it’ll appease the Orange One
