    If you get arrested during a protest, they can force you to unlock the phone (it can be a felony to refuse) , so better not to bring it at all.

        They can force it then and good luck crying to the courts about it.

        Completely depends on the country

        Yes but this thread is about something happening in France, so I wasn’t talking about US laws…

        While true, they can still give you a hard time. If you simply don’t have one they can’t do much about that.
