It looks that way. Does anyone know what the UK legal position is about forcing someone to unlock their device?
I know you can be jailed here for refusing to hand over an encryption key. I don't know whether your passcode / fingerprint counts as an encryption key in they eyes of the law.
If you refuse to hand over encryption keys in court, after you'd been officially charged that's one thing (though not saying that it's justified either), but if you've been stopped for i.e. mundane traffic check and asked to hand over your phone for inspection, that's totally wrong and oppressive.
