And I'm counting on just using biometric security rather than living out of fear that police are going to randomly pull me aside and insist on looking through my phone

My time is divided up between the UK and the US

My point is that I don't just walk around as an average citizen in fear of law enforcement randomly targeting me and my phone - frankly that's a strange way of living and an even stranger justification of removing one of the biggest QoL improvements that smartphones have had in the past 15 years.

If I was a drug dealer or terrorist, sure - passcode only, but living out of fear that police are randomly going to target me out of the blue, and then scour the 55000 photos/1m+ messages on my phone until they find something incriminating is a comical level of paranoia and epitomises the attitude of the average redditor with limited real world experience. There are faster ways for police to fill their quotas.
