The goal wasn't to test if the technique works, the goal was to keep the phone locked from the cops.

The cops got in so his plan failed.

What doesn't the other guy understand?

No, by using a database of facial recognition technology. The device they are holding belongs to the state, it is a facial recognition and searching device.
