Legal niceties take much longer than this. Once 48hrs is passed your fingerprint is useless to unlock the phone. At that point there is nothing they can do since they cannot demand you give them the code. A finger is part of your body, the passcode is only in your head.


Which is why I'm still wondering how this decision even helps...


This wasn't a decision - it was simply a search warrant that included the demand. It's not a legal precedent or case law...
