Are there any legal experts that want to weigh in on this.

Can the police in New Zealand force unlock your device with your biometrics?

How does this work with NZ law?

Holding power + volume down in an iphone until the power off menu comes up disables faceid until you log in with your pin as well

Also for iPhone: If you press just the side button/lock button five times in quick succession, it will also go into lockdown mode and can only be unlocked with a pin. A little easier to covertly do as it’s just a button mash before you get nabbed.
