Hundreds of Scots have modified the facial recognition settings on their smartphones and laptops/tablets in order to defeat the Scottish Police. Concerned that devices will be seized by police after vexatious and anonymous complaints of unsubstantiated Hate Crimes, the Scots have modified the settings so their own face no longer is recognised.
It is not known by most Scots whether this relatively simple change will protect their devices in the event Police Scotland turn Stasi, break into your home, seize your means of communication with the modern world and then attempt to hack your devices. Some reports suggest the police have more sophisticated tools that can crack into a smartphone in minutes or even seconds, allowing police to view your contacts – and then raid their homes; view your Tweets – though one wonders why Police Scotland could not work out how to do that on the website; read your emails – they could have just asked MI5 to share that information, but The Notional understands that the SNP have forbid Police Scotland from asking for help from the UK secret services; and see your high score on Bejewelled Blitz. That last could be extremely embarrassing for a large number of Scots.
Rumours that these Scots have been wearing a Hate Monster mask while resetting the facial recognition settings are entirely unfounded and should be dismissed by Police Scotland out of hand.
