If he still wants to ensure that the Cops should actually have to do more work despite this decision, then there are four possible outs: - If Touch ID hasn't been used in 48 hours, you'll need to enter your passcode or password to re-enable it. - If your iPhone has been rebooted or reset, you'll need to enter your passcode or password to re-enable it. - If a fingerprint isn't recognized 5 times in a row, you'll need to enter your passcode or password to re-enable it. - If a remote lock has been sent via Find my iPhone, you'll need to enter your passcode or password to re-enable it. Remote lock - or delay for 48 hours - or - give the wrong finger 5 times in a row - or get the phone reset/Rebooted (careful of contempt of court - there few things more unstoppable than a pissed-off Judge with contempt powers)

- wrong finger is seen as a distress signal. Device will open up and hide/erase anything that isn't already "public" knowledge (e.g. call records can be verified with the cell company, but photos cannot)

  You made that up. suprgeek's list is stuff that's actually true.

    Oh, I didn't know that. Thought it were ideas...

      It's a good idea. Too bad it's impossible to hack that into iOS...

        It's actually possible to do this on a jailbroken device. I had a discussion about this and the consensus was you're probably on better legal and usability ground to just use a shorter passcode timeout (like 30 minutes).

        Or use a 1% chance that it will prompt for password after fingerprint... or 100% chance when you use the wrong finger. But how to tell? When the password prompt pops up, it might have been the 1% random chance. If you set it to 30 minutes, you'll be typing in the PIN/password practically every time you grab it.

Which finger to use is essentially password (albeit less than 4 bits) which presumably you don't have to reveal. Ask the policeman which finger he wishes you to place on the scanner and don't register you thumbs.

Jailbreak your device and make an app that enables the passcode requirement whenever the GPS says the phone has been inside of a known police station/FBI office. It would be incredibly easy to create the database of locations and keep it updated.

  Or even easier than maintaining such a database, just allow users to whitelist certain locations they frequent, with a training mode to easily set it up: start recording, go about a normal day, stop recording and save.
