A bill that would allow police in France to spy on suspects by remotely activating cameras, microphone including GPS of their phones has been passed.

    I would suggest getting one of those faraday bags that block the signals to/from the phone. Then, if you really need it, you can still use it.

      If you get arrested during a protest, they can force you to unlock the phone (it can be a felony to refuse) , so better not to bring it at all.

          Better not use biometrics lol

          They can force it then and good luck crying to the courts about it.

          Completely depends on the country

          Yes but this thread is about something happening in France, so I wasn’t talking about US laws…

          While true, they can still give you a hard time. If you simply don’t have one they can’t do much about that.
