Luckily you dont have to give up using the fingerprint scanner if you believe in your ability to shutdown/restart your phone before you are taken into custody (it should require the passcode again in this case).
Modern android OS has an optional lockdown mode that you can enable access to alongside restart/shutdown. And it disables all biometric access until your pin is entered again.
Remember folks, What you know is protected. What you are is not.
Cops can force you to use the fingerprint scanner.
