    So walk me through the reasoning you feel the court would use. What is the difference between:

    reading a slide lock where you move your finger across the screen and the phone detects a finger and unlocks the phone

    and

    reading a fingerprint lock where you place your finger on the device and it unlocks the phone.

    Remember that your fingerprint is not private. Anyone can have it, the court can demand you produce it, and the hand it's attached to, whenever it wants. They can be copied, lifted from the environment, and shared openly. You can be forced to produce them, including being forced to place your hand on a scanner for recording of the print.

    Your fingerprint, to tie you to the scene of a crime or location or for the purposes of identifying you? You are absolutely right.

    Your body, however, is yours. Your fingerprint is not what is unlocking the device, it is the unique properties of your body, combined with the fingerprint that does so.

    http://www.walb.com/Global/story.asp?s=3268798&clienttype=printable

    And it appears the supreme court agrees that your body cannot be compelled, especially by law enforcement, to give evidence away that may incriminate you, and that does not allow for escalation to a warrant.

    What unique property of your body is required for the unlock?

    there is. And this a password in which your fingerprint is only one component of.

    I do NOT see the courts ruling in favor of police arresting people because they refuse to compromise their right to privacy by being compelled to unlock their phone.

    This has search and seizure written all over it.

    But we gotta be tough on crime.

    Yes, but none of them should be dismissed casually the way he does. There is a line to be drawn, and it should be drawn at "fiddling" vs. "not fiddling" children, not at "just mild fiddling that's kinda embarrassing but you can walk it off over time" vs. "serious fiddling".

    There is still a context to it. Our history includes times when it was normal to diddle kids.

    Hold on there sparky. We never proclaimed him anything of anything. Just like black folks never claimed Al Sharpton was the spokesperson for black folks. Dawkins just happens to the mean old man that gets in front of the cameras and says the best crazy shit for the papers.

    It is your "fingerprint", including subdermal layers caught via the image. And checked for depth as well.

    So someone else with your exact same "fingerprint" would not unlock the phone, unless they also through some mega-lottery odds had the same subdermal structure as you.

    This isn't an ink fingerprint, and it isn't reproducible. So unless we are expanding the definition of what comprises a fingerprint to law enforcement to include high resolution mutli layered 3D biometric readings, then this doesn't really count.

On the other hand dude has issues. "Mild touching up" is a problem, a current problem, and just as it shouldn't be pursued with pitchforks and torches it should be left to neverdonemenoharmism

    Noooo according to the courts it is entirely different.

    But Synd has a good explanation of why a mere print isn't good enough, and that might get you bootstrapped to "biometric ID" on the level of a DNA sample and the court can't compel you to provide one of those.

    I would love for you to find me one case where a person was compelled to use their fingerprint to unlock potential new discovery of evidence, as opposed to as a tool to tie a suspect to evidence they have already collected.

    edit: we have had simple biometrically locked laptops (which are crude in comparison to the new apple toy and much easier to break into) since the 90s - has there been a single case in 20 years?

    there was a case here with "the pocket man"

    who asked children to help him get his keys out of his pocket and there was no pocket just his penis.


    his defense lawyer was... I'm not sure he was the right choice.

    to translate as faithfully as I can, it was a weird old dude saying "children aren't harmed from being tampered with a little."


    not something like, for them it was just accidentally touching a guy's penis, that's not all that traumatizing and that should be taken into account and he shouldn't be sentenced as harshly as someone who is touching a child from a position of trust, etc

    but no, phrase it the absolute worst way.



    although that defense lawyer was a prostitute at the age of 12, so, I dunno what kind of statement you could expect.
