I'm pretty sure the LEO entered the password, he just provided it.

I mean they didn't specify which PIN they wanted, just that he hand over the PIN for his phone and that he could not speak to anyone (lawyer, someone that knows his rights, etc). I don't know your definition of duress, but that situation fits mine and I would have given them the same PIN.

The border bitches asked a poorly worded question, made assumptions about the answer, and proceeded to wipe his phone and blame him for it.

I 100% agree and I didn't even think about the vagueness of their question given the possible responses.

I was just clarifying that the Leo's entered the password, not him.
