The 9th Circuit determined that forcibly mashing a suspect's thumb into his phone to unlock it was akin to fingerprinting him at the police station.

    That’s why passwords are safer in this situation. Cops can’t compel you to reveal it.

          It still does. People who like cryptocurrency are crypto bros (regardless of gender).

            ?

            They mean literal cryptography.

            Now, a lot of old crypto bros were the origins of crypto currency, but that’s a different breed of nerd than the modern crypto bro. The difference is how much you like math and how many posters of Alan Turing you have.

    What a terrible decision. That’s like saying if you have a house key they can search your house.

      There’s a reason they keep you focused on the first two amendments. Don’t want you realizing how comfortable they are with unregulated search and seizure.

      Honestly idk how the civil forfeiture can possibly be considered constitutional
