What an outrageously evil and dystopian ruling.

Bending over backwards to find logic that lets cops ignore the Constitution.

If it's a search violation without biometrics then it's a search violation with biometrics. Next up they're going to rule that no matter how much you get recorded telling them you don't consent to a search, a search is legal as long as they can smash their way into your car.
