Ok. Well when traveling to China most people take an empty phone so it doesn’t get copied. Now I guess I’ve got to do the same for UK. I’m assuming Europe is the same. Thanks for the warning.
I don't think I said it did. This tech has been around for nearly 2 decades. Cellebrite released it's first version of a device like this, the UFED, in 2007, same year as the iPhone released. This is the world we've lived in for almost 20 years. Didn't people pay attention to Snowden 😂
I'm not shocked especially since my country has Digital ID since almost 10 years. There is far worse tech out there since half a century. I just wanted to give my five cents to starmer

Cellebrite (Israeli tech) is also used to see if a driver was distracted or using apps at the time of a car accident or other driver related incident.
This tool requires physical access. The officially described purpose of it is for digital forensics of seized evidence so how the device is handled is a big deal to them. You plug the device into the tablet or workstation and it will extract the device's data if unlocked or brute force / exploit the device to access data and extract if locked.
