=T I don't mean to be depressing, but courts don't limit police power.

Police are an extension of the courts' power.

I've always wished my phone had a setting where certain fingerprints would hard lock it instead of unlocking

My phone will require a passcode if my fingerprint doesn't register enough times in a row. Maybe you can get similar functionality to what you want by just only registering one of your thumbs or something? I can't find anyway to turn the number of allowed failures down, though..
