    While I buy you’re general cynicism, it’s wrongly applied here …

    It seems like we have both more and less protections than other places, for this instance.

    • while it’s not entirely settled case law, you can NOT be compelled to give up your passwords. Different states differ and they’re constantly trying
    • however biometrics are counted as public knowledge, so you have no protections

    This is more of a scenario where legal contortions turn into huge inconsistencies, plus our legislature has refused to clarify so it’s all on the court system
