7. Forced biometric unlock... legal or not?

MJ, when you wrote that LE could force you to provide fingerprint to unlock a phone I got curious.

I haven't done an in-depth search yet, but apparently such practice is legal... at least in some jurisdictions.
I would have guessed otherwise, but I am not a lawyer. Thank you for bringing this up.
