Re: [mediacapture-record] Fingerprint surface coming from 'isTypeSupported' - needs consideration? (#142)

Re 

> As am sure you are aware, any and all mobile devices are a "fingerprint surface" itself, thus making any concern about "privacy" on a mobile device nonsensical

There is a portion of the bail hearing in this matter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7zL1l8YcG0, from yesterday, June 30, 2020, where Defendants' attorneys agree to not attempt to **_remotely_** "wipe" the cellular phone of Defendant. 

The device is in the custody of the State. 

And presumably is turned off. And does not have a battery installed.

Yet, the State is still concerned enough about the capability to remotely "wipe" the device that the State made sure to get a clear agreement from Defendants' attorneys to not _try_ to "wipe" the device.

The implication being that at any given time the device can be accessed remotely, potentially without the user of the device even knowing that is occurring.
