The dead being used to unlock Apple iPhones now in grotesque move!

Apple iPhones have become more than just status symbols. Everything about them has to be right. So when things don't really go right, it leaves a bad feeling. And this present case will leave you quite moved - in all the wrong ways. In a grotesque move, law enforcement agencies have started using the fingers of dead people to unlock their Apple iPhones, at least in for investigative purposes. Ironically, the process is legal. 

Reportedly, the process is being carried out now more frequently than before as the FBI no longer needs Apple's help in unlocking the phone. What they need are owner's fingers. The process of unlocking the iPhones by using the fingerprints of the dead to find leads or evidence is a follow-up development of FBI-Apple encryption dispute over the San Bernardino shootings event. The debate started after FBI asked Apple to unlock the phone of one of the shooters, which was categorically declined by the Cupertino-based giant. The debate also made courts of the United States to direct the manufacturers to help in unlocking the phone but its direction to went in vain. Later, FBI used other means to hack the device including use of fingerprints of the dead person. 
Report on SlashGear suggests that the limitation of the presence of signs of life in the fingers of the person has been bypassed. The phone is kept unlocked till the available information is not extracted. 
New Debate
The process of using the fingerprints of the dead person has raised questions on the rights of privacy for the person who is dead. Is the right to privacy limited to the living human being? It might sound objectionable but lawyers' claim that the activity is not illegal as they feel that the dead don't have a right to privacy on their body or body parts. However, few lawyers are not agreeing with the claim. This means the subject is under debate and is likely to get fiercer.
