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.
