Another judge has ruled that the U.S. government can't force you to unlock your phone with your fingerprint by iblametom

Share to twitterA U.S. judge rules individuals can't be compelled to open smartphones with their fingerprints. He rejected a government request to force unlock a Google Pixel device with an individual's finger. American police might think it's acceptable to force people to unlock smartphones with their fingers, but increasingly U.S. judges are disagreeing. In Idaho, a just-unsealed

There are few details about the Idaho case available. The ruling reveals an unnamed individual is being investigated for possible possession of child pornography. When the police entered a property of interest, they found the Google device in a bathroom. But it was locked and they didn't have the tech to break through Google's encryption to access the data within.

But Judge Bush, citing a similar previous ruling in Illinois in 2017 that was overturned, wrote:"The same constitutional heartwood is found in this case, where the use of the individual’s biometrics may incriminate the individual by providing evidence of some association or 'relatively significant connection' with the phone and, therefore, its contents.

Venezuela's Maduro is 'ruling for the moment, but he can't govern': Mike PompeoSecretary of State Mike Pompeo said that President Nicolas Maduro is 'ruling for the moment,' but cannot be part of the country's future, adding that the Venezuelan people 'will demand' that he leave office. Basically the default position of all presidents. But of course, since Trump said it, it'll be a constitutional crisis or something... Let Socialism play out in Venezuela President Trump. Imagine the outrage if a government official of any other country said this about the US. A person's ideology clearly defines him and his words just proved how much of an ignorant fool Mike Pompeo is.

Judge rules 3-year-old must receive chemotherapy against parents' wishesA Florida judge ruled Wednesday that a 3-year-old diagnosed with leukemia must continue chemotherapy treatment against the wishes of his parents. Land of the free. LOL!!! He deserves to live. This judge absolutely made the ethical choice. Ok from what I gather the boy never had any rounds of chemo... that’s why I’m glad the court stepped in. If he had received chemo & it didn’t work, that’s one thing, but they didn’t give it a chance to work! That’s alarming to say the least. What’s really going on here? 🤔😠
