Two Missouri police officers were indicted separately this week and accused of similar crimes — pulling over women and searching their phones to find nude photos.

Never give the cops your phone.

    What? Do you mean to get the pop up on screen? That’s still a simple long press on the power button. I just did it now on my Pixel.

    Long power + Vol Up does a hard reboot directly without calling the power menu

      But it also takes like 10-15 seconds of holding it. Not something you can do when a cop holds out his hand for your phone.

        For a hard reboot yea. It’s faster to do the onscreen menu which pops up in like a second

        Or you can root and restore such powers to Tasker

      Default after Pixel 5 is to bring up Google Assistant with a long press of the power button.

        Then they must have changed their minds again, I haven’t changed this setting so it’s default has been long press for power button

        But I did find the setting so you can change it and not worry about it anymore: Settings > System > Gestures > Press and Hold power button

          Thank you! I looked it up before and the only thing I found was that the default setting had changed.
