      OR you could carry a knife with you and chop off your thumb if they try to arrest you

        Nah, then they get you for littering and open the phone.

        You have to walk around with a hotplate so you can sear your fingerprints off.

        I prefer to just have my phone’s fingerprint reader loaded with a non-fingerprint. You can use any part of your body, really. Use your imagination. It’ll be functionally impossible to unlock your phone even using that same part of your anatomy later, even if anyone could guess what it was.

        So then your phone will ask for a fingerprint but none of your fingers will ever in a million years actually unlock it. Jack booted thugs are welcome to try; they will fail. To actually use your phone, just enter your PIN or passcode.

      For iPhones, a reboot will require passcode even if you have biometrics configured.

        You don’t even need to reboot. Just holding the shutdown combination to pull the menu up is enough to activate the passcode lock. You can just hit cancel after that.
