So, the police demand that you give them your phone password. Some people have asked, "What happens if I give the police the wrong passcode? Can you be charged with a criminal offense for that?" No, you can't be charged with a criminal offense for giving them the wrong passcode. In some jurisdictions and in some cases, it can be illegal to lie or make a false report to a police officer. And in some situations of federal agents being involved, it is absolutely illegal to make a false or material misstatement to a federal agent. Generally speaking, it's not illegal to give them the wrong passcode or to say you forgot the passcode. But, why do that? You're a Doctor Judge follower. You already know what to say. "I don't answer questions without a lawyer, and I don't consent to searches."
