In reply to the discussion: Deported Brown University professor had 'sympathetic photos' of Hezbollah leaders on her phone, DOJ says [View all]tornado34jh
(1,477 posts)28. Something feels very fishy about this. How did they get access to her phone?
I don't know what phone she has, but assuming she did like most people do, I would assume that a user password (made by her) was set on her phone. Many times if you try the password enough times, it is locked for a certain amount of time or depending on the settings, the data is erased. Also, usually after a certain amount of inactivity, (e.g. 2 ,minutes) it locks the phone back to the home screen and then you have to reinput your password or whatever method you use. Also, as far as I know, you could only get access to the phone's folder once you put into a password/biometric authentication because you can't do it from the home screen.
I don't know, I am very skeptical of the explanation by this corrupt DOJ we have.
