Pro tip, if you suspect the police are going to take your phone, turn it off. As far as I am aware, finger print and face id do not work on initial startup and they can't compel you to enter your pin without a warrant.
*counsel you. I'm picturing a police officer comforting a suspect who's sobbing with a hand on their shoulder haha.
Not counsel, compel actually. But either way, definitely not console! Ha
