"Having litigated this case for nearly six months now, the State’s inability or unwillingness to articulate what the Collection and Use of Biometric Identifiers statute (“CUBI”) covers and how Google supposedly violated the statute demonstrates that the State is wielding the law as a hammer in search of a nail.
