A good reason to use the password lock on your phone, if it has one.

They can search your phone, but if they require you to give them the password, 
I believe that requires a warrant, like it does for any locked device, like a 
safe or storage facility. THAT requires probable cause.

Of course, since they're cops in modern America, nothing then prevents them 
from applying a baton or taser warrant to you until you cough up the password. 
Lead Pipe Decryption works surprisingly well.
