Just turn the phone off, won’t accept a fingerprint when it is turned back on, have to enter password. That is on iPhone don’t know about androids.
Fingerprints as passcodes were rendered ineffectual by the courts almost immediately. Bodily data (fingerprints, urine, dna, blood, etc) are considered material evidence and not covered by self incrimination protections.
The problem with the warrant is not that it asked for finger prints, but that it lacked specificity regarding whose fingerprints and why as well as what they expected to find as a result.
The concern we should have is that a judge signed a half assed general warrant instead of refusing and telling the LEO’s to get their shit together.
Ineffective and lazy judges are a dark stain on the robes of lady Justice.
“Are you sure? A warrant is supposed to state specifically what they are looking for.”
That’s what the article says and the article will lead you to the warrant...

Bttt.

The headline was a little scary - it implied the Feds went into a building full of employees - it appears it was in fact a ‘home’. It’s not clear if they had finger printing equipment - or just asked for individuals to open their phones.
Maybe a drug bust or illegal immigrant trafficking - I would like to think that not all law enforcement has been corrupted by the Clinton Comey crowd.
This is tyranny.
No.
Huh?
I know of no states that require a fingerprint for a DL...
Thanks for the link. I get the impression that this warrant is a supplement to one or more other warrants, and that this warrant addresses specifically the constitutionality of the collection of fingerprints.
Also note that three conditions must be met for the fingerprints to be collected.
GA required it when I lived there. I tried to fight it but was told driving was not a “right”, it was a privilege and my fingerprint was the price of that privilege. I needed to drive, so...

These people got off lucky.
The Clinton JustUs Department will be taking fingers instead of just the prints.
And don’t even think of what they will do for security systems that use iris scans.
Not much you can do about it.
When they took the photo for the NC license, it seemed to be a special facial-recognition type photo (I peeked at what the DMV person had on their screen!).
If you do use it, you should not use either index finger. Then press your index finger if ordered. "I guess I'm so upset at having my God-given constitutional rights trampled that something must be happening with my blood pressure, or whatever. I should probably go to the hospital."
California, right thumb.
Newbie here on this stuff.
Will dog’s paw prints work?
I dare the feds to get my chow chow’s paw prints!
That’s the way it’s always worked on iPhone if you try to unlock with an unregistered fingerprint 10 times, assuming you set the phone to behave that way when it’s being broken in to.
It isn’t, but the communist judiciary refuses to honor our Constitutional rights.
Me too. What’s with that error?
But that wouldn't be "news"!
