If you value the security of your data - your email, social media accounts, family photos, the history of every place you've ever been with your phone - then I recommend against using biometric identification.
Instead, use a passcode to unlock your phone.
Can't argue with that - especially in place where law enforcement often takes a... Liberal approach to detainees.

Not really. Hold down detainee, hold up phone in front of his face. If detainee closes eyes, hold up phone unexpectedly during interrogation.
Biometrics like this are convenience, not security.
