Am I paranoid for not wanting to use my phones fingerprint scanner?

I find it really hard to believe LEO isn't all over that shit. It's the biggest fingerprint database in the world
>>
You already fucked up OP
>having a phone with a fingerprint scanner
>>
>>55480684
you're not paranoid, there is already evidence of the phone companies selling it.
>>
LEO already have your fingerprint goy.
Though, really, unless you ARE a criminal, your fingerprint isn't really very dangerous to give out, unless both fingerprinting technology and the ability to spoof fingerprints takes off in the years to come.
>>
>>55480838
Why would the LEO already have my fingerprint anon? Do they do them at birth or something?
>>
>>55480684
iPhone stores it locally and if you're using an Android phone, you don't really care about privacy either way.
>>
>>55480684
A major reason not to use it is the "feds think you have CP" scenario

Revealing an encryption password is sometimes covered by the 5th, but providing your finger to unlock the phone isn't
>>
>>55480896
I don't get it.
>>
What can someone even do with your fingerprint??

Make a fake one and put you at the scene of a crime by making a 3d printed mould?????!!!!
>>
>>55480896
Now that's a good point.
>>
>>55480936
Yeah but I'm not a disgusting pedo.

Let me rephrase, if I'm not a pedophile or doing anything illegal, is there any reason to NOT use the fingerprint scanner?
>>
>Never having committed a felony and been fingerprinted
Plebs
>>
>>55480916
You get pulled over / detained by feds
>anon give us your password to unlock your phone
>I plead the 5th
>hold anon still while we use his finger to unlock the phone
>can't do shit
>>
>>55480929
It's like you haven't even seen the 2nd Bourne movie or the new Batman
>>
>>55480944
It doesn't matter what you ARE, it's about what the feds THINK.
>>
>>55480956
lol

Who comes up with these interpretations of our laws? That's not a good faith interpretation

You're right that this isn't frequently a problem for normies

But it's literally a better safe than sorry scenario, why wouldn't you do it?

I encrypt all my storage not because I have a tinfoil hat, but because there's almost no reason not to

>Am I paranoid for not wanting to use my phones fingerprint scanner?
whether the phone indicates its usage or not, you probably already touched the button, so you're fucked. see >>55480708 and >>55480781

>>55480948
You get fingerprinted when you're born in the US desu
>>
>>55480985
>Unless they are planting evidence just to fuck people over for lulz
nah, more to make it seem like they're actually doing something
happens all the time in drug scenarios

it's easy as shit for an investigative agency to drop shit on your phone and make it so the defense can't really prove it wasn't always there

>>55480971
some of them aren't malicious, just misguided
but that's just as bad, if not worse
>>
>>55480684
iOS stores a hash, not your actual fingerprint, and it stores it in the secure enclave just like your password. There would be no way for the law to retrieve it using only the phone's data. But if they have your phone, they likely already have your fingerprints because they are either all over the phone itself or they have you in custody.

We had ours taken in grade school.

Your fingerprint is not protected under the constitution. You're within your rights to not tell the police your passcode. They are allowed to get your fingerprint though. So its completely reasonable to not want to use the fingerprint scanner
>>
It's a growing trend that governments will just imprison you until you give them your passwords.
So fingerprints being easier to get doesn't really matter

>It's like you haven't even seen the 2nd Bourne movie

Cause it was shit compared to the first

You don't get printed for committing a felony, you get printed for getting caught. That makes you the pleb.
