Lockdown Mode is a sometimes overlooked feature of Apple devices that broadly make them harder to hack. A court record indicates the feature might be effective at stopping third parties unlocking someone's device. At least for now.

      To get back the seized property, owners must prove it was not involved in criminal activity.

      Well, that just sounds amazing and not at all exploitable

        Seems a bit opposite of the whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing

          Seized property under rico works the exact opposite, you have to prove your property innocent.
