"Police are questioning a man who they suspect of strangling his girlfriend to death.. During the interrogation, they ask for a sample of the dirt they can see underneath his fingernails. He refuses and then starts rubbing his fingers on the keys in his pants pocket. May they involuntarily take the scraping?"
