Can't this be avoided, at least on Android, by simply shutting down your phone? Thought I read somewhere that they lock down everything, even system processes, after turning on again until you unlock it again. Or are you also forced to type the password and let them in?
The law requires you to unlock it, but as far as I'm aware its legality has never faced a major challenge and there are some civil rights groups who are confident it won't survive one.
Truth be told though most phones don't have robust enough security to withstand even a short duration attack from the tools available to law enforcement.
