Does this mean your police force, your employer, your mugger, your family, your friends, everyone, anyone ... can unlock your phone by pointing it at your face or a picture of your face?

Your “real” face, yes. Picture of your face ... I would suspect not ... I think it has to detect some kind of depth in a scene for it to work. “Real” is “easy” to determine by moving the phone while you’re unlocking it.

No, the unlocking has to be intentional. Photos or even 3D representations of your face don't work. It has to be your face and you have to look at it with your eyes open with the intention of unlocking the iOS device with FaceID operational, otherwise it will not unlock.
