Friendly reminder if you're in the U.S., you always want to use a PIN or password to unlock your phone. Law enforcement needs a warrant. If you use your finger print, Iris, face... they do NOT need a warrant.
Legit question: for the average person, why would this matter? Like congrats copper, you can see my text messages to my mom, and my receipts in my email, and my pictures of my pets. If someone's actually doing crime, then a password should be the least of their security measures.
I can think of a couple situations, one being if you live in a place where abortion is illegal and you're talking to someone else/someone who knows someone who wants to get one. Doesn't matter if you did nothing illegal but now you've likely gotten them in hot water. Another is if you've loaded a website that hosted something illegal unintentionally, now you have to explain why that's in your cache/history/whatever (lemmy had a big problem with CSAM being spammed on some instances). Innocent people get put on trial/sent to prison for weak evidence, and your phone is an immense amount of information for the cops to look through and see if they can make anything fit.
Imagine suddenly driving up to a police DUI check point. You've only had one glass of wine with dinner. But, you posted about it on IG, FB, X .. or, whatever. You want the risk of letting the cops have easy access to your phone? No way!
