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?

they don't have to torture you. They can pressure you in all kinds of ways. Even mere threat of locking you up and throwing away the key would get you to unlock your phone.

Psychologically, the best chance they have is convincing you to unlock it. However, a privacy focused user that takes the initiave to use a custom rom like grapheneOS and not use any services that will compromise your data if requested might as well not have their phone exist at all. If they don't want you in, you are not getting in.

Honestly if you think the cops are coming after you why not always use a burner phone.
