What do you think will happen if you're arrested with a thumbprint lock on your phone? They may not be able to force you to recite your password (at least without lengthy legal proceedings beforehand), but they can certainly grab your finger and use it to unlock the device. They may not be able to do this if you've only been detained, but I wouldn't chance it.
- Shivetya 10y agowhen you are pulled over you turn the phone OFF. Its simple and its fast.
- tremon 10y agoOn the other hand, when I'm pulled over, I definitely want my phone to be recording audio.
- adventured 10y agoOr consider using a dash cam with audio recording.
- snuxoll 10y agoAgreed. Opening the settings and disabling the fingerprint scanner would be easier and allow you to still use the device to record audio.

- Shivetya 10y agowould be better to have an app that does it so you don't need to fumble through settings
- technofiend 10y agoThat's my point - you need legislative relief because any lock has a law-enforcement key.
