Summary
Two former Missouri police officers, Julian Alcala and David McKnight, were charged in separate federal cases for illegally searching women’s phones during traffic stops to obtain explicit images.
Alcala, formerly with Florissant police, faces 20 counts of deprivation of rights for allegedly taking nude photos and videos from phones and deleting evidence.
McKnight, an ex-Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper, faces nine similar counts.
At least 29 women’s phones were allegedly searched.
Both men resigned after investigations began. The FBI urges victims to report misconduct by officers. The cases are unconnected.
For those who are unaware or curious, iOS can do this with your Guided Access settings. You can set it up to be unable to leave the app it’s currently in when you start Guided Access.
Thank you! I was trying to Google it as I was sure Apple has something comparable
