Ruling: Thumbprint scan is like a "blood draw or fingerprint taken at booking."

=T I don’t mean to be depressing, but courts don’t limit police power.

Police are an extension of the courts’ power.

    That’s a decent alternative, but it’s got two problems that make it a worse option:

    First, it’s hard to do without looking, like if it’s in your pocket. Also, if someone is watching you, or trying to compel you to unlock your phone, they’ll have a chance to stop you if they’re paying attention.

    Second, that doesn’t actually work for me on my version of Android. xD

      At least on samsung, its a setting you have to enable - “Show Lockdown option” under “Secure lock settings”

      Once enabled, it shows up in the power off menu.
