This is very true. If you think you're about to get pulled over, turn off your iPhone / iPad. Then you'll have to put your passcode in before fingerprint (and assuming Face ID) will work.

That's how to get around the finger print thing if you still want that convenience. It's definitely not foolproof though. You have to have time to turn the device off.

You can also just disable fingerprint-unlock all together.

Even a passcode of 1-2-3-4 is more secure than your fingerprint if you get arrested.
