Ridiculous. They should at least be required to obtain a warrant first.
The contents of the phone are still protected by the 4th Amendment, so a warrant would still be required, although it appears that in this case he waived his 4th Amendment rights as a condition of his parole for a prior offense.

Interesting if this changes anyone's opinion of the ruling.
Why would it?

This has more to do with Self-Incrimination vs Privacy. The privacy argument is inherently weaker than the other. However, this should be overturned by SCOTUS…maybe they’ll even extend privacy rights based on this blatant usurpation of the Constitution.

There are select crimes that certain posters don't believe in constitutional rights and have made it known lately.
Like 2A rights for non-citizens or assylum seekers here without a visa

How so if it was agreed upon as a condition of his parole? It sounds like the guy is arguing semantics of thumbprint vs. password.

I can understand if they have a warrant. That’s like unlocking your door or safe.
But this is supposed to be ok without a warrant?

Parolees don't have the same rights as normal citizens. You can be ordered to your P.O.'s office once a month against your will, drug tested against your will, and apparently be searched against your will. The remedies are to either #1: don't do anything that would land you in prison OR #2: if you find yourself in prison, don't agree to the terms of parole. Technically, parole is just supervised release. You're still legally a prisoner.

100% this is a back door to use on other things also

I don’t use fingerprint access on my phone.

They should at least be required to obtain a warrant first.
First, is law enforcement entitled to see the contents of your phone? That is a Fourth Amendment issue.
Second, if so, are you required to “assist” them in gaining access TO your phone. That is a Fifth Amendment issue.
Because this appeal relates to a parolee, only issue two was in play in this case.
