  18. Police Can't Force You To Unlock Your Phone Using Face or Fingerprint Scan https://thehackernews.com/2019/01/phone-fingerprint-unlock.html [Let me add a few words here: Although I trust the site, they are not legal experts. This is one ruling in California. It is a fact that you cannot be forced to open your phone if secured with the less secure password/code. Nothing that is in your head. You can up until this point be forced to open your phone if you use the more secure physical methods like finger prints. This has been confirmed by many legal scholars. So outside of California, it may still be an issue. Lastly, I am currently training in cyber forensics and it has included the requirements for a search warrant, as we find evidence used in courts. Search warrants must be very specific about what they expect to find. Note I have bolded above how the judge found that the warrant was not limited to a person or device. They cannot have me open your phone because I happen to be in the room with you or your device. That said, this is an important call made by this judge and I applaud it. I do not use fingerprint or facial recognition as I can be forced to open my phone, I use the less secure options so that I cannot be forced to open it.]
