I have a feeling there's more to that story. As far as I know, they need a warrant to enter your phone, so even if you unlock it with your print, I see no way they'd be allowed to look through it until obtaining a warrant. Our new phones have the fingerprint deal on them, but I really don't see why a fingerprint should be looked at any differently than a password. Sumpin' tells me that judge's decision won't be the final word on this or there are some details missing from this story. 'Course I could be wrong ... but it makes no sense.

Yeah warrant hell. That's why those guys out west got popped for trading nude pictures back and forth that they got off of women's cell phones when they brought them in.

Ummm, if it's ok ... why were they arrested? ONLY because they sent them on to their friends ... or because they shouldn't have been digging through the phones in the first place? I assume you're talking about those California cops digging through phone pics of women arrested for DUI's. What viable reason did they have for going through their cell phones?

Just because something is done, doesn't mean it's legal. Take your picK:

An officer can not legally search through a cell phone without the owners consent or a warrant, period. This has been determined by the Supreme Court. It doesn't matter if it's password protected or not, or has a print swipe or not.
