Seems like it would be better to have a truecrypt type of situation, where if you put in a certain pin, then it just logs you into a separate OS with nothing you want to hide.

Obviously have the duress pin if what’s in your phone is worse than the obstruction charges too.

I'd say better would be not trying to pull a fast one on the cops. Rather than trying to sneak past them and local innocuous, just exercise your right to say no.

I would say that if what you have on your phone is worse than a destruction of evidence conviction then you may want to just wipe the phone before you get anywhere near a cop. Playing stupid games with cops most often leads to winning stupid prizes. Keep the interaction simple. "No."
