It’s legal to fiddle around with a corpse?
I thought thee were laws against such things.
better than popping his eye out.
Lt. Randall Chaney said it was an unsuccessful attempt to access and preserve data on the phone
The probably should have warmed the finger up to human body temperature. I can't think of any other reason why it would not have worked.
Fingerprint ID on iphone doesn’t work after it hasn’t been used for a couple of days.
Ugh. I think an unfortunate choice of words.
Authorities tried to unlock the iPhone of the Sutherland Springs church shooter after the killer died.
No Go.
It takes a pulse.
It would have been nice if the officers didn’t do this in the Widow’s presence, but maybe time was of the essence.
One of the techniques used to determine the most accurate blood-alcohol levels in a dead body is to extract the fluid from the eye of the deceased; subsequently, the eye is then refilled with saline solution.
They should have warmed his finger up. It would have worked.
Jack Bauer did it in season 1. He took out his leatherman and clipped the thumb right off a perp.
Phillip was shot and killed March 23 at a Wawa gas station after police said he tried to drive away when an officer was about to search him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Did they have a warrant or probable cause?
They can’t just shoot you for refusing a search.
When I read that line, I immediately knew. No need to look at the picture at that point, but here it is nonetheless:
Linus the Stiff:
Idiots...sick idiots. The police state simply cannot grasp the idea of some information beyond their reach.
Grisly as it sounds, good biometric authentication devices contain checks to confirm that they body part is still attached to a living individual.
Retina scanners flash a light to ensure the pupils dilate.
Finger print scanners check that a pulse is present.
“... According to Chaney, there’s a 48- to 72-hour window to access a phone using the fingerprint sensor.”
That’s why it didn’t work.
A fingerprint doesn’t seem too awkward.
Once Tim Cook gets people using colon maps to open their phones though...
What was the victims’s blood alcohol? Did his hair test positive for toxins? Did the autopsy show evidence of heart disease? Dementia? AIDS? What was the cause of death?
“”There should be some dignity in death,” Nojeim said”
Well maybe so. Show him the same dignity he showed the cop trying to arrest him.
From another article:
“Largo police Officers Matthew Steiner and Prentice Ables pulled over a black Nissan sedan driven by Phillip at the gas station due to illegally tinted windows, officials said.
While talking to Phillip, police said the officers smelled the odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle.
As officers tried to detain him, police said Phillip jumped into the driver’s seat of the Nissan and tried to drive away. Steiner found himself trapped halfway in the vehicle as Phillip put it in reverse and accelerated with the driver’s side door open, police said. Ables was able to get out of the car’s way.
While Steiner was being dragged by the car, police said he drew his firearm and fired “in self-defense,” police said. The officer then fell out of the car and found the open driver’s side door “brushed” over him.
The Nissan, still going in reverse, hit another car, crashed into the gas station’s bollards and then stopped between two gas pumps. Officers then started medical treatment for Phillip and called for paramedics, police said.
Are police not allowed to examine, scan, copy, reproduce, enlarge, multiply, and transmit the images made with fingerprint recording devices to other law enforcement agencies and fingerprint identification services?
And also do about a zillion other things with a dead body of a violent or suspicious death via the forensic science of the morgue?
Including picking it up out of the middle of the sidewalk and move it to the morgue? Should they be allowed to do this or should the cops just leave it there, rope it off, and let it rot and be plucked apart by crows?
Can they, for example, clean dirt out from beneath the victim’s fingernails? Take off his clothes and examine them?
