I hope that soon a 'duress fingerprint' option is implemented; the simplest way is that you enroll one finger to be your duress finger. When you scan that one, the phone will require a password to unlock it (even if rebooted)

"Please extend your right index finger"

Cop presses your finger to phone.

So keep your right index finger as the duress finger if you are high risk, or just use the duress finger as soon as you see police. Not 100% effective, but nothing is.
