I think this would be different for someone not on parole. So like if you're just speeding and get pulled over I believe they would be violating the law/Constitution if they forced your thumb against your phone.

But they probably do it anyway so good idea to follow the lock down above in this thread.

Only one of the reason I will never use fingerprints. Go get a fucking warrant.

Something you have can be forced...thumbprint or face scan. Something you know can't be forced

Never leave a paper trail. It's an outdated term now because it applies to emails and texts and everything else too.

Meet and talk in person. Pay with cash. Say nothing over email and phone that you wouldn't want someone spying on you to see.

You don't have to tell me twice to not leave the basement. I love that place!
