I guess not being forced to testify against yourself doesnt count for the implant that you need to go on living.
...which for some reason also records your heart rate constantly and sends it to your doctor.
Privacy is dead.

Isn't that a good thing?

privacy is dead because some people with heart conditions have a device that monitors their health?
such dumb melodrama
Federal rules of evidence quite clearly say that doctor patient privilege isnt recognizable. And since arson is a federal crime they're within their rights to have the evidence admitted in court regardless.

Pacemaker data isn't known only to him, hell it isn't known to him at all. Its known to his doctor, who is legally obligated to use data pertaining to a patient if said patient is involved in a crime.
The 5th amendment only applies to information that literally only your testimony or cooperation can provide.
Passwords for example cannot be legally compelled if the only place they're stored is in your head. But if you wrote your passwords down on your desk then those passwords are not protected under the 5th amendment because those passwords are no longer known to only you.
[I]fingerprints[/I] however are [I]not[/I] protected by the 5th amendment because while those fingerprints are [I]unique[/I] to [I]you...[/I] they are not known only by you. Those fingerprints are discoverable through millions of contact points every day and even a high resolution photograph can reveal them. As such you can be legally compelled to surrender your fingerprint for the purpose of unlocking a device.
Ooooh that makes sense. I was basing my opinion off of the password thing. Thanks.
