"Police have yet to completely wrap their heads around modern iPhones like the X and XS, and that's clearer than ever thanks to a leak.Motherboard has obtained a presentation slide from forensics company Elcomsoft telling law enforcement to avoid looking at iPhones with Face ID. If they gaze at it too many times (five), the company said, they risk being locked out

So a small piece of tape or comparable makes the thing safe to handle freely, and a mugshot or brief video clip unlocks it? Yet again, security vs. convenience produces the usual winner. :o/
