That would be super cool if that was a feature instead of a bug because anything that makes law enforcement's job harder is worth praising and doing properly.
GrapheneOS includes this feature
It would be nice if this feature did not disable immediately if you turned it off and would require like say 48 hours and two more reboot cycles. That way if a cop took your phone from you and had it and went into the settings and turned the feature off it still wouldn't work.
I just heard this like yesterday or today and so that's absolutely amazing. I don't think lineage has it though, which is sad. Although it is less useful on lineage since you can't re-lock boot loaders.
Yeah, seems like a reboot every 24 hours you're not unlocked would be extremely useful
