So maybe you can do something that relies on them fucking it up. Set the lock to, for example, 43o1. Set the duress pin to 4301.
If asked for the pin, say “four three oh one”. Chances are good they’ll interpret the “oh” as a 0. They can play back any recordings they have as evidence, and you’ll clearly be on record saying something that was not the pin they typed in. You did not mislead them.


It’d be fascinating to see how this plays out in the courts.
Technically it’d be the officers themselves performing the wipes, right? Could you say you got the pins mixed up in your head and get away with it?
