Let me guess: not covered by the Fifth Amendment in the US. Its not your words or thoughts, its your brainwaves. No different than testing your BAC against your will

It's a pretty clear violation of the 4th amendment. Won't stop companies from building this tech into their wireless headphones, though.

How's that working for defendants' these days? ~~Wasn't there a big case in Pennsylvania invalidating this in some sneaky way or something?~~

~~Something something Foregone conclusion doctrine~~

Nothing comes up when you search Pennsylvania + foregone conclusion. Unless you mean police making you give up passwords, which was deemed illegal by higher courts.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No but aren't there many exceptions to 4th and variably so? Its seems like its not so clear cut these days

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No, 4th amendment is pretty cut and dried.

With the exception of Terry Stops.
