Hold the phone (heh): Touch ID is disabled after 24 hours, how in the world did they get a warrant to do this within that time frame? It says in the article that the phone was seized on Feb. 25.

I've always understood that getting a local judge to expedite a warrant for timely reasons is not unheard of.

The warrant was issued when she was arrested - it would not be at all unusual for police to get warrants for things discovered during an arrest, nor would it be unusual for them to be prepared to request one.

I believe TouchID is disabled after 48 hours.
