I think that's a stupid reason to take a phone from someone
I would need more information about this story
(I live in Spain and use GrapheneOS BTW). How would police even know it's GrapheneOS? Shit, why would they be looking at my pone in the first place? The only possible situation is: you were arrested for something, as part of investigation they have a warrant to access your phone, they try to unlock it with common tools, they fail, they realize it's GrapheneOS.
Or, scenario 2: they are in a shady neighborhood, they see a guy with a Pixel phone (you can tell because of the camera bar) and they think "that's a strange choice for an unemployed dude sitting in bar whole day" and they assume he's dealing and, I don't know, make a mental note about it.
Excuse me, officer? What exactly are you accusing me of? Doing cocaine? Sweet, aromatic, Bolivian cocaine?
Source?
HEY GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS TOTALLY UNTRUE BULLSHIT I JUST MADE UP AND CAN'T PROVIDE A SOURCE FOR?
The title is inaccurate but not far off.
β’ Cops in this country think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer (Updated)
"Police in Spain, specifically in the autonomous region of Catalonia, are very alert when they spot someone using a Google Pixel phone. As weird as it sounds, Pixels are highly preferred by those involved in organized crime, according to the Catalan police."
Cops find the stupidest ways to misattribute the mundane as criminal.
The internet: "I for one, am totally outraged. Outraged I say!! And I bet it somehow all Trump/Biden/Obama/Kirk/Kimmels fault!!!! Dont forget to like my comment of popular thing I said!!!".
Unless there is a verified source it's FUD and it's actually not helpful for freedom and privacy.
What I think is that I should probably look into installing GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel.
You should, its honestly crazy how simple the installation process is
Check your banking app first, chances are it won't work on GrapheneOS.
I'm a bit of a luddite in that respect, I don't trust apps for anything that important. I know, it's probably fine, and I probably should, but I don't. Just one of my weird hangups I guess.
You aren't alone. I also refuse to install apps like that. I also really hate it when companies don't have the option to not store my card or personal information.
I'm similar but I don't like the idea of someone swiping my phone and maybe being able to get into my payment apps so while I use online banking, I don't let it save my login information. Is kind of a birch to have to log in everytime, but makes me feel safer
Big false, most work just fine. They do often require the play store and services to work. Need to use the sandboxed Google services.
So, if you're trying to de Google, ya, banking apps won't work, but if you're okay with just increased control and privacy, in you're fine.
Once they start just taking your stuff, they are thugs. You deal with them like any other thugs.
I recommend a M84 Zastava.
Sounds like a great way to get yourself killed. They have guns too.
That's why I open carry a W88
ICBM in the back of a truck with the control switch or we riot.
Arch killed my parents btw.
Should've read the installation guide better.
He has the right, but not the ability...
Arch took away his right to remain silent.
