I cannot believe the courts have not clarified this. A court can’t force me to give up a password yet they can force my finger to unlock a device?! Incredible.

The courts have ruled that fingerprints can be taken for ID purposes but NOT for unlocking purposes. This Magistrate Judge may be off the reservation.

The court can also force you to provide your fingerprints in an attempt to match your prints to those on a murder weapon. Same thing.
