The cops can take a finger

Government May ‘Seize’ Your Fingerprint to Unlock Apple Devices, Federal Court Rules 

What is the rule on returning seized evidence?
 If the seized property was contraband, the police will not return the property under any circumstances. If the police seized your property as evidence, it will likely be held until the conclusion of the criminal case. ... This can be the most challenging situation in which to compel the return of your property.
They have your finger, how do you perform bodily functions while stored in the evidence locker?  You cannot, a finger is not evidence.
