aren't they going to ask you to unlock it, or do as they do in China and run a quick scan using their special software?
Australia also
Ohh.. wow.. 🤯
Can I get a source for this?
First time I heard about it was from this youtube channe...called "all things secured" but I don't remember the video , he said police officers stopped him and plugged a USB C on his phone, after a few moments they let him go..
this article discuses the same situation but I'm sure you can find other sources
They can ask. And you can say no. Some countries might torture you, but that's honestly low risk. And for that we have duress passwords.
Special scanning software can't defeat strong encryption with a strong passphrase

Again, rubber hose cryptanalysis is, in fact, defeated by a duress password. We do have counter forensics tools that work against torture.
