Do you know, in the United States is legal when using fingerprints of corpses to unlock the smartphone, as long as the phone does not belong to someone else.
This method has been used by law enforcement there for the last few years.
This report was confirmed by Forensic Expert Bureau of Federal Investigation (FBI) United States Bob Moledor as quoted from Ubergizmo, Sunday (25/3/2018).
In his testimony, Moledor recounts the first case of using corpse fingerprints to unlock Apple's TouchID features.
In a report published Forbes, Moledor said, the use of fingerprints of the dead to open the iPhone was first performed in 2016.
Forbes also cites information from sources close to both the federal police investigation and the local police. It is also considered not something weird alias is commonly done, especially for cases of drug overdose and police trying to open the smartphone to find out the number of the dealer.
Not only that, there are some cases that have been successfully completed thanks to this method. Unfortunately, quite a lot of cases are also unfinished due to time issues.
Just to note, when an iPhone is not used for 48 hours, users will be asked to enter their passcode before using TouchID. Therefore, the authorities would not be able to open the iPhone using a fingerprint a corpse.
The Dead Do not Have Privacy
The owner of the law firm of Medvin Law Marina Medvin, the police decision to use fingerprints to unlock their smartphones is completely legal.

Relatives or other interested parties have very little chance to stop the police from using fingerprints or other body parts of the corpse to unlock the smartphone.
"Once you share your information with someone, you lose control of how the information is protected and shared.There can not assert privacy rights when your friend's phone is searched and the police see a message from you for your friend.The same applies to the information of the deceased, "said Medvin.
