"A Virginia Circuit Court judge ruled on Thursday that a person does not need to provide a passcode to unlock their phone for the police. The court also ruled that demanding a suspect to provide a fingerprint to unlock a phone would be constitutional."

So, its not a question of warrantless access to privacy of the data on the phone, it’s the legal method of getting to it?

Wait, let me re-read the article..
