[liberationtech] iPhone5S Fingerprint and 5th amendment

I know that users can be forced to handover digital card and written down
passcode to decrypt data while memorized passcode is mostly safe from
subpena and court orders.

As iPhone5S uses fingerprint to lock the device, could users be forced to
unlock their iPhone5S?
As police can legally collect fingerprint in most cases, could they use the
fingerprint in the database to unblock the device and decrypt data?
