you can't be serious, can you?
don't you realize that cops have magic usb cables to unlock data on any commercial phone sold in the world in the last 5+ yrs?
your little 'lock screen' gets laughed at. calea also laughs at your 'concept of privacy' that you THINK you have, but really don't.
one poster did have a semi-good idea: keep your phone turned off and locked in the trunk inside another item that is locked. if its on on you, its under a different catagory (if I understand correctly) and so the threshold of them just barging in is higher, for such things.
"no, I do not give consent to a search of my locked trunk."
that's all you say. of course, they will do what they want, but if there is a dash cam watching them and it happens to NOT go 'missing' later on, this will help you once you get to court.
remember: 'you may be able to beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride'. you cant fight with the guy there, but hopefully, you may have evidence that will help you later, once you are in public, inside the 'safety' of a courtroom.
