The man was in duress and being forced to hand over his PIN while being denied access to legal counsel, that is the very reason for a duress PIN. I don't think the charge is even going to make it to real court, his defense has a great case for it to be thrown out.

Surely he was also using the built in backup feature, if he was he would have been able to grab another used Pixel, install GOS, then just recover from his backup (I haven't tried the restore yet just because I'm lazy, fingers crossed it works).
Sounds dumb to give it out, but mine is my normal 8-digit pin, just backwards. It's easy to remember and seems like a legitimate PIN.
Start it brother (or sister), that's the best name for a resistance in this climate.
I believe a duress PIN is still a PIN, if they don't specify which they want, and then they enter it, they'd be hard pressed to actually charge you with obstruction.
I'm not a lawyer but I've been told never to give my PIN out.
Yeah but those lights blind the hell out of me when rangers are following me. The lights are a good 2-3 feet higher than they used to be which means they are about level with my mirrors.
I mean why put limits on roads if we let cars ignore them anyway?
To be fair my kid is a man now, he still lives at home but that is mainly because he doesn't have a need to move out and he can save up while he lives at home (he works in his chosen field but prices are crazy). He definitely got almost anything he wanted but he always asked for stuff within reason and against all odds we've had a particularly lucky run at things over the past decade or so.
While I agree $20 doesn't go far, a $20 bill at least makes sure I have enough to give my kid if he says he needs a couple bucks.
Yeah, I was just taking the piss. Honestly I would love even an extra spare $20 a month!
While I am not entirely disagreeing, I have to a bit for anyone that can't bring themselves to say it (all sides should be heard).
I may have misread but I don't think he typed the PIN, as far as I understood they had already taken the phone and were insisting he give them the PIN without any access to a lawyer. Not only did he not wipe it, he only gave them the 'I'm in duress' PIN because he felt he was, if I'm on the jury it's innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
