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

How does this work with NZ law?

    Forcing someone to unlock their phone after being arrested for something unrelated, is no different than them forcing you to unlock your house so that they can rifle through your stuff looking for additional things to charge you with. It’s immoral, and it should be illegal. The government found new ways to circumvent people’s rights with the digital world, and they’re walking all over people’s liberty.
