There's literally emails from police investigators spreading word about the reboots, which state that the device goes from them being able to extract data while in AFU, to them not being able to get anything out of the device in BFU state.

It's a bit pointless, IMHO. All cops will do is make sure they have a search warrant lined up to start AFU extraction right away, or submit warrant requests with urgent/emergency status.

I sort addressed this in my original comment but local police likely do not have access to an AFU vuln, and generally get it after it’s been patched. Then, they go on an unlocking spree. This prevents that
