These updates, currently rolling out in the US, aim to protect personal data and render stolen phones useless to thieves. The most significant of these is the <keyword id="21675990" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Theft-Detection-Lock" source="keywords">Theft Detection Lock</keyword>, which uses machine learning to detect theft-related movements and automatically lock the device. Basically, if your Android phone is snatched from your hand, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/youtube-gets-generative-ai-superpowers-with-new-features-will-suggest-video-titles-to-content-creators-and-more/articleshow/113476662.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">this feature</a> will lock your device and protect your sensitive information from falling into the wrong hands. <h2>Google rolls out anti-theft features </h2> The Theft Detection Lock relies on artificial intelligence and the phone’s built-in sensors to identify suspicious movements, such as when a phone is snatched from the user’s hand. When triggered, the feature locks the device instantly, preventing unauthorised access to sensitive information. Whether a thief is on foot, a bike, or in a car, the phone recognises the situation and initiates the lock, ensuring the phone becomes unusable. In addition to this, the <keyword id="23441417" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Offline-Device-Lock" source="keywords">Offline Device Lock</keyword> feature kicks in when a thief attempts to disconnect the phone from the internet for an extended period. This ensures that even if the device is taken offline, it remains secure, safeguarding the user’s data. These features are designed to make it increasingly difficult for thieves to gain access to stolen devices. Another important update is the <keyword id="23456217" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Remote-Lock-function" source="keywords">Remote Lock function</keyword>, which allows users to lock their phones remotely via Google’s Find My Device service. This is especially helpful if the phone is inaccessible or if the thief disables the Find My Device feature. Users can even lock their phone using their phone number, maintaining control over their data despite the loss of the device. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113845568" title="I was fired from Google after 13 years of service.

The features are being rolled out in a phased manner. Hence, it might be a while till you can see them on your device. As per reports, the features could be available for all users by the end of this year. You can find the options under the Google Services section in your phone’s settings.

Now, the delivery service seems to be up and running again. How does ‘zero contact delivery’ work? Customers have to place thier order online and pay digitally for their meal. Once the order has been accepted, a ‘safe delivery expert’ will arrive at your home and place the order in front of your door. He’ll move back to a safe distance so that you can come pick it up and confirm its delivery. According to the company, its restaurants, delivery bikes, delivery bike boxes, and pizza delivery hot bags are sanitised every four hours. It claims that all its pizzas are safe for consumption as they were baked at 245 degrees Celsius and the healthany employee working on the production or delivery line is checked before they get to work. Initially, contactless delivery service was launched across all of Domino’s 1,325 restaurants across the country. So far, the recommencement of services has only been confirmed in New Delhi.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Cops involved in the raid that ended in the shooting death of <keyword id="13106257" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="amir-locke" source="Orion">Amir Locke</keyword> argued to a judge that a "no-knock" entry would be safer.</li><li>Locke was fatally shot in a Minneapolis apartment by police carrying out a no-knock warrant on February 2. </li></ul>Minnesota police involved in the raid that ended in the <a href="https://www.insider.com/minneapolis-police-kill-black-man-during-no-knock-search-warrant-2022-2">shooting death of Amir Locke</a> argued to a judge that a "no-knock" entry would be safer, according to a newly released search warrant. The warrant released on Thursday by the Hennepin County District Court allowed authorities to carry out the February 2 no-knock apartment search in which Locke, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot dead by a SWAT officer with the Minneapolis Police Department in the early morning hours of February 2. The application for the warrant, which was secured by the Saint Paul Police Department in connection with a homicide case, argued that a nighttime search and no-knock raid was "necessary to prevent the loss, destruction, or removal of the objects of the search, or to protect the safety of the searchers or the public."It also said that a no-knock warrant "enables officers to execute the warrant more safely by allowing officers to make entry into the apartment without alerting the suspects inside.""This will not only increase officer safety, but it will also decrease the risk for injuries to the suspects and other residents nearby," the application said. Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill — the same judge who presided over the trial of former police officer <a href="https://www.insider.com/derek-chauvin-trial-update-prosecution-rests-its-case-2021-4">Derek Chauvin</a>— approved the warrant. Cahill had previously approved a warrant for the same apartment, but police sought additional approval a day later to allow them to enter without warning the occupants first.According to the <a href="https://www.startribune.com/minneapolis-police-insisted-on-no-knock-warrant-before-amir-locke-shooting-city-sets-moratorium/600143065/?refresh=true">Star Tribune</a>, Saint Paul police were forced to resubmit its search warrant application after Minneapolis police insisted on a no-knock entry."The court further finds that no-knock entry, without announcement of authority or purpose is necessary to prevent the loss, destruction, or removal of the objects of said search or to protect the safety of the searchers or the public," Cahill ruled, according to the warrant. <div type="image" title="A demonstrator holds a photo of Amir Locke during a rally in protest of his killing, outside the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 5, 2022." height="2812" width="3749" msid="89487959" hostid="261"></div>Locke was not named in any of the search warrants that police obtained in connection to the Saint Paul murder case, but his cousin, 17-year-old Mekhi Speed, was. Speed was <a href="https://www.insider.com/amir-lockes-cousin-arrested-murder-case-that-led-fatal-raid-2022-2">arrested and charged this week</a> with two counts of second-degree murder for the January 10 death of Otis Elder in Saint Paul. As part of the Saint Paul Police Department's investigation into Elder's death, the department secured search warrants for several units at a Minneapolis apartment building called the Bolero Flats and asked the Minneapolis Police Department to execute them. Locke was staying in one of those apartments when a SWAT team executed the no-knock raid just before 7 a.m.Graphic footage of the incident from a police body-camera shows Locke under a blanket on the couch when police stormed into the home. Locke can be seen in video footage on the couch with a pistol in his hand moments before he was shot dead.Locke was a legal gun owner, according to his parents who have said police "executed" their son. In applications for the search warrants, investigators described Elder's murder as "a violent robbery where the suspect shot the victim with a .223 Caliber firearm."The application said that the suspects involved in the murder "fled to the Bolero Flats Apartments in Minneapolis where Speed was seen on video trying to manipulate and cover up an item in his pants and coat" that investigators believed was the firearm used to kill Elder. "A criminal history review of the known suspects in this homicide revealed that they have a history of violent crimes," the application said, explaining, that the suspects posted on social media showing them holding several different firearms and posted videos from the Bolero Flats apartment complex.

Minnesota police argued a no-knock apartment raid would 'decrease the risk for injuries to the suspects and other residents.' Instead, they shot and killed a Black man inside.

Locke's cousin, Mekhi Speed, 17, was arrested and charged on Tuesday with two counts of second-degree murder for the January 10 death of Otis Elder, according to the Saint Paul Police Department and court documents. Elder, 38, was shot and killed in the city of Saint Paul, authorities said. It was not immediately clear whether Speed had retained an attorney. As part of the Saint Paul Police Department's investigation into Elder's murder, the department secured search warrants for three units at a Minneapolis apartment building and asked the Minneapolis Police Department to execute them. One of those warrants was for an apartment in which Locke had been staying. Locke, 22, was shot to death as a SWAT team carried out a no-knock warrant at one of those units in the Bolero Flats apartment building on February 2. Graphic footage of the incident from a police body-camera shows Locke under a blanket on the couch when police stormed into the home just before 7 a.m.Locke can be seen in video footage on the couch with a pistol in his hand moments before he was shot dead. Locke was a legal gun owner, his family has said.Police have said that Locke was not named in the no-knock warrant. The young man's death has triggered outrage and protests from the public. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Locke's parents, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amir-locke-family-plans-wrongful-death-lawsuit-attorney-says-2022-2">told Insider earlier Tuesday</a> that the family plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the Minneapolis Police Department for the killing. According to a probable cause statement filed in Ramsey County District Court, Speed's brother's girlfriend was the registered occupant of the apartment where Locke was at the time of the police raid. Speed's brother also lived in the apartment and Speed, who resided in a neighboring apartment in the complex with his mother, had access to his sibling's apartment, the court documents state. "Police and fire had been to the apartment on numerous occasions in the past," the court papers say.Speed's brother, his girlfriend and Locke were in the apartment at the time of the raid, said the statement, which only identified Locke as "A.L." Investigators recovered a black Canada Goose jacket with fur that they believed was worn by Speed, the documents say."Officers also recovered a bullet, a gun in A.L.'s possession and marijuana from the apartment," according to the probable cause statement.

The officer who fired the fatal shots was identified as Mark Hanneman. Locke was shot twice in the chest and once in the wrist, according to a <a href="https://www.minneapolismn.gov/media/-www-content-assets/documents/22-0004855-Fire-Incident-Report.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fire department incident report</a>. <h2>New details emerge </h2>A<a href="https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2022/docs/AmirLocke_JointReport.pdf"> report from Ellison and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office released this week</a> includes excerpts from a written statement from Hanneman after the shooting. Hanneman told investigators in his first statement that Locke fell to the floor after another officer kicked the couch that he was on. Hanneman told investigators that when Locke fell, he saw Locke pointing a gun at him from under the blanket. In the body camera footage, though, Locke only appeared to sit-up briefly before he was shot. "I was convinced that the individual was going to fire their handgun and that I would suffer great bodily harm or <keyword id="6355784" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="death" source="Orion">death</keyword>. I felt in this moment that if I did not use deadly force myself, I would likely be killed," Hanneman wrote in the first statement, according to the report. "There was no opportunity for me to reposition myself or retreat. There was no way for me to de-escalate this situation. The threat to my life and the lives of my teammates was imminent and terrifying."Hanneman wasn't the only officer on scene who's initial statements didn't seem to line up with the body camera footage that was later released. According to the report, Sgt. John Sysaath said in a written statement that Locke was engaged in "evasive movements" and didn't comply with verbal commands before being shot. Another SWAT member, Sgt. Troy Carlson, said he told Locke to "show his hands," but he went back under the blanket and was "vigorously moving around," the report said.Carlson told investigators that he had seen the body-camera footage before he made his statement, and it had "altered his perception" of what happened, according to the report. At first he believed that there was a "physical struggle" before the shooting, but after seeing the footage he realized it was likely the "overall commotion at the scene," according to the report. "He should be alive today, and his death is a tragedy," Ellison and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office said in their statement. "Amir Locke was not a suspect in the underlying Saint Paul criminal investigation nor was he named in the search warrants. Amir Locke is a victim. This tragedy may not have occurred absent the no-knock warrant used in this case."<div type="image" title="Demonstrators hold a &quot;Say His Name&quot; sign during a rally in protest of the killing of Amir Locke, outside the Police precint in Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 5, 2022" height="3284" width="4926" msid="90693109" hostid="261"></div><h2>No knock raids still an issue in Minneapolis</h2>The May 2020 killing of George Floyd by then-Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin ignited nationwide calls for police reform.In Minneapolis, the calls have been especially loud.In the aftermath of Floyd's killing — and the Louisville killing of Breonna Taylor — Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey instituted a policy change that was intended to make it more difficult for police to execute no-knock warrants, but it wasn't an outright ban, as it allowed unannounced entry in a variety of circumstances.On March 14, Frey <a href="https://www.minneapolismn.gov/news/2022/march/warrant-and-entry-policy-proposal-/">announced another policy</a> intended to ban the use of no-knock warrants. This one prohibits the application for and execution of all no-knock warrants in the city, and by MPD officers requested to help in cases involving these warrants in other jurisdictions.The policy also requires that officers serving search warrants now knock a minimum of 20 seconds during the day or 30 seconds at night before entering. However, if there are "exigent circumstances present that indicate imminent harm to a person" officers can enter sooner, the policy says.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Mehki Speed, 17, was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of second-degree murder.</li><li>He is accused of killing 38-year-old Otis Elder.</li></ul>The teenager accused of murdering a 38-year-old man last month in Saint Paul, Minnesota — setting off a manhunt that resulted in police killing his cousin, <a href="https://www.insider.com/minneapolis-police-kill-black-man-during-no-knock-search-warrant-2022-2">Amir Locke</a>, during a no-knock raid — will remain in custody another week while his family consults with attorneys, a judge ruled Tuesday.Mehki Speed, 17, was <a href="https://www.insider.com/amir-lockes-cousin-arrested-murder-case-that-led-fatal-raid-2022-2">arrested early Tuesday</a> and charged with two counts of second-degree murder for the January 10 killing of Otis Elder.The juvenile appeared at a remote detention hearing Tuesday afternoon before Ramsey County Judge Stephen L. Smith. Also appearing was Speed's mother, Cheryl Locke, and other family members who joined the call from the office of criminal defense attorney Steve Meshbesher.The case has attracted national attention due to last week's killing of Locke, 22, after <keyword id="11896850" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="minneapolis" source="Orion">Minneapolis</keyword> police executed a no-knock search warrant and entered the apartment where he was sleeping in an effort to find Speed.Body-camera footage shows Locke was under a blanket on a living room couch when police stormed the home just before 7 a.m. local time. He was killed while he had a pistol in his hand. His family says <a href="https://www.insider.com/amir-locke-minnesota-gun-rights-organization-condemns-police-shooting-2022-2">he was a legal gun owner</a>.<h2>An 'unusual' hearing</h2>Meshbesher asked the court to postpone the hearing by one or two days, explaining that Speed's family had only walked into his office a half-hour earlier and needed time to discuss the financial cost of representing the 17-year-old.Also appearing was another attorney, Paul Sellers, who said he had met with Speed that morning and had previously represented him. At the time of the January shooting, Speed was on probation for shooting someone in the leg in September 2020, <a href="https://www.startribune.com/17-year-old-arrested-in-st-paul-homicide-that-prompted-no-knock-warrant-leading-to-amir-lockes-death/600144372/">the Star Tribune reported</a>."I must say, this is unusual for me to have two unretained defense counsels," Judge Smith said at Tuesday's hearing. Smith granted Meshbesher's request to hold the hearing at a later date. Speed will be detained in the meantime, the judge said, citing the existence of "sufficient grounds to be concerned for public safety."Speed himself agreed with the decision, saying that he needed "more time to talk with my family and my attorney."A detention hearing is now set for February 15 at 3:30 p.m. local time.Have a <keyword id="11893589" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="news" source="Orion">news</keyword> tip?
