    What if we just say I always forget the code and use the built-in too many tries wipes the data setting?

    If you forgot the code can you offer to let them have it? Then you could wipe it remotely?

    Trying to understand what would happen if you really forgot the passcode.

      I believe the threat here was: Tell us the access code or we confiscate your phone, which we’ll hack into at our leisure.

      Unless you suffered some traumatic brain injury, nobody is going to believe you can’t unlock your phone after being in detention for 24 hours.

      It would probably be treated as an intentional wipe.

        There’s already precedent that you cannot be forced to give up your passwords. It’s a 5th amendment violation. But I’m not sure if it applies to this case or not.

          Yeah, there’s reading the bill of rights, understanding what it means and how it was intended, and it’s another thing to understand how it’s been thoroughly chipped away at, year by year, state by state, decision by decision. You would legitimately be shocked and horrified at how many exceptions there are, and this MAY fall within one of them the–the border exception.

        Perhaps the trauma of being in detention made you unable to remember it? It’s really up to the prosecution/accusers to prove it, isn’t it?
