GrapheneOS duress PIN could land a man in prison
-
This is yesterday's news. Destroying evidence is a crime in a lot of jurisdictions. With that in mind, I don't understand how somebody who apparently uses Graphene OS didn't bring an empty burner when crossing one of the most notorious borders in the world.
Which isn't to say that the laws that require you to unlock your phone and that throw you in jail if you securely wipe it aren't hostile and inhumane.
In order to be convicted of destroying evidence, there needs to be proof that there was "evidence" on the phone in the first place.
If something on the phone is already known without doubt, then what's the need for access? if there is doubt at the time of the wipe then there is no proof or destroying evidence.

You have to carry a piece of paper in your wallet that contains a PIN. The piece of paper contains no further information, just a PIN. You decline to answer any questions regarding this piece of paper or your phone’s PIN.
This might not be a good idea, depending on your jurisdiction.
Or just set it to your mmddyy or something typical for weak passwords

I cross the US border every few months.
Stopped carrying a laptop, still crossing the border with a graphene phone, tho.

Supreme court has ruled that warrantless phone search at the border is bogus, but theyre too shitpantsed to stick with it
Does this apply to non-US citizens as well?

You can have a business card with a "phone"number on it. (Your pin can be any part of that number it is only you who needs to know where to start reading the code).
You don't need to have a sus number only piece of paper.
The point is that the cops would find and enter the pin.
It's the wipe pin.
They wiped it, not you.

Funny how the lemmy liberals never believe that the US is the authoritarian country lol

I think the point is that if you load an empty profile (no photos, no videos, no apps, etc) but your phone storage is nearly full, it could throw up a red flag.
That's why the fake profile would not show that the storage is full. Unless they try to load lots of data onto the fake profile it would not be obvious.

Not if you live within the jurisdiction of the 4th Circuit. The court "ruled that a lower standard applies to manual searches, allowing the government to conduct extraordinarily invasive electronic device searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing, simply because the border officer chooses to search by hand rather than with a forensic tool."

Really? I feel like I'm constantly seeing complaints about the US's growing authoritarianism.

They didnt grow to it. Nobody just gave a shit before, because it wasnt against all skin colors.

It's not even about skin color, not really. It's about poverty and people not having a chance to get out of it. I would also commit crimes if I felt my life had no future and im white.
As a consequence, black people commit crimes and white cops become racist because they see that. But its not really about skin color if you look at the full picture.

Sounds like bs without any definitive proof

They implied that based on his use of grapheneOS/erasure of the device. In reality he is a Stop Cop City activist. The fascists just want to associate good privacy and security practices with criminality and depravity.

What a coincidence that it was the guy protesting the police who was also suspected of possessing such materials. If it turns out they had real independent grounds to suspect he had such images, I'll change this view, but for now I assume that's the cops' standard line to shut down people's questions. Just say they thought the political target had CSAM, and immediately people see him differently, plus the police can accuse anyone who challenges their actions of supporting pedophiles.

Indirectly murdering hundreds of thousands of people in pursuit of profits.
And manslaughter with a car.
-
pedophilia (if you are rich)
You don't even need that first part. Being rich makes it 10x harder for you to be prosecuted.

If the phone's security prevents them from accessing information, then they have no information. How can they prove there was any information on it to begin with?
-
Seems like what's needed is the ability to load an alternate profile or some kind of demo mode based on the pin. Something that looks normal but doesn't have any info you don't want others to see, without actually deleting anything.
You can already have multiple independent users in graphene (maybe in stock android too idk). You have to switch them before the possible search though.
