    It’d be fascinating to see how this plays out in the courts.

    Technically it’d be the officers themselves performing the wipes, right? Could you say you got the pins mixed up in your head and get away with it?

        So maybe you can do something that relies on them fucking it up. Set the lock to, for example, 43o1. Set the duress pin to 4301.

        If asked for the pin, say “four three oh one”. Chances are good they’ll interpret the “oh” as a 0. They can play back any recordings they have as evidence, and you’ll clearly be on record saying something that was not the pin they typed in. You did not mislead them.

        Fl*rida just made it a misdemeanor to cover your license plate with materials that prevent those fucking Flock cameras from scanning it

        That’s not even remotely new. It’s been illegal to cover a licence plate with anything that obstructs it being read, manually or otherwise, for as long as we’ve had licence plates.

        They may have tweaked the language a little here and there; but that law has always been around in some form.
