You’d have to be a real idiot to keep using the same phone after the police arrested you and forced you to unlock it, especially for doing crimes.
You’re in custody, your friends don’t know you’re locked up. Who’s the idiot?
Well, people doing crimes aren’t known for their intelligence.
This. Even I would be too paranoid to keep using a phone (or other device for that matter) that the police confiscated before.
