Are there any legal experts that want to weigh in on this.
Can the police in New Zealand force unlock your device with your biometrics?
How does this work with NZ law?

Thanks for the info, I doubt I’ll need it, but it is always good to know.
Just a note, on a Samsung, go to settings and search for “lockdown” to enable the option, then hold the power button and the option is visible.
At least on my stock Android Pixel you cannot use biometrics to unlock after a restart. So if you just hold down the power button to shut off the phone it would require a pin after booting.
Same on mine. The problem is I’m so dumb and absent minded I’d immediately unlock the phone again to browse Lemmy
We’re talking about a hypothetical situation where you know you’re potentially about to get arrested. I doubt you’d be powering it off and then on again while you talk to the cops.
