If you are caught with your phone in a bad situation, fight to manage to get it to shut down. Android will be stuck in a locked out state where biometrics are disabled. Im sure iphones can do something like that but rethink bringing your stupid iphone to a protest. Ask for a lawyer. Do not talk, do not answer questions, do not say anything else.

You don't even need to shut it down, newer Android phones (at least on LineageOS) have lockdown mode in the power menu.

Takes ~2-3 seconds to set on my Sony Android phone; long-press power, top-right option is lockdown.

Also on iPhone, you can just hold down buttons to trigger power down menu which also disables Touch/Face ID.

Thank you, I didn't think of that!
