Ruling: Thumbprint scan is like a “blood draw or fingerprint taken at booking.”

i believe this apple update was introduced after the court which ruled that it is ok to force you to unlock with the fingerprint, but not ok to demand the pin.
there was a case when police wanted to unlock a gangster’s girlfriend iphone.
