It’s super easy to disable biometric auth immediately, either explicitly all through repeatedly failing the biometric auth by moving and keeping your eyes shut.

Not a foolproof method I would trust if I had something to hide from the police.
not sure how much face recognition was disabled by this but I rolled my eyes all the way up and it did not unlock, kind of strained my eyeballs though.
yes the rolling eyes method is the way to avoid it if you get into that situaiton.
They'll just wait until you can't hold your eyes up anymore.
it will try like 3 times before requiring a passcode
Unless they use the Ludovico technique
Don't tell the cops I hate showtunes
