In your mind how does this scenario play out?

Are you just living in the "second OS"? Meaning you don't actually use your phone while you are outside? Or are you going to just casually reboot your phone and boot into the "second OS" while the officer is standing there demanding your phone?

I believe there are some setups where one password unlocks your normal OS and user accounts and another password unlocks your phone under a second user with no indication of a second available.
