When the FBI couldn’t open an iPhone in Los Angeles, a judge made the controversial decision to let the bureau force a woman to unlock the phone with her fingerprints.
But it didn’t work, CNN reports.
The case involves Paytsar Bkhchadzhyan, the girlfriend of an accused gangster.
“They forced her to use all 10 fingers to unlock the phone. But it didn’t unlock the phone,” said George G. Mgdesyan, the attorney who represented the couple.
Turns out, the Touch ID feature expires if it’s not used within 48 hours.
When that didn’t work, the FBI tried another route.
“They asked for a password. She said, ‘It’s not my phone,'” Mgdesyan explained.
