“The 9th Circuit determined that forcibly mashing a suspect’s thumb into his phone to unlock it was akin to fingerprinting him at the police station.”
That gave me a chuckle.
I don’t have any. Oh, I have thumbs. And fingers. But FDLE has determined that not a one of them has a readable print. Just one of the things I discovered on my way to a CCW permit.
The other was that fireing a S&W .22LR revolver into a metal 5 gallon bucket of water at a gun show constituted “firearm training.”
Lock your phone when the a PIN or a password. Configure it to reset to factory settings after X number of bad attempts to log in. They can NEVER force you to give up a password or PIN. Biometrics are NOT secure regardless of what’s advertised .
