A REMINDER FOR THOSE PROTESTING TODAY (OR ANY DAY):

If you use biodata (fingerprint, facial recognition, etc.) to lock your phone, change it to a password or pattern lock. Also make sure that the lock kicks in whenever your screen is turned off (no delay).

With a warrant, the police can compel you to provide biodata (just like a dna swab, biodata for phones counts). They cannot compel you to provide a password of any kind.

Never volunteer anything. Get a lawyer ASAP if you are arrested. Do not say anything but "I want my lawyer."

KEEP YOUR PHONES SECURE.
