There's an easy legal loophole.

When you seize their phone, tell them your passcode is explicitly not the destruction code, and do not answer any more questions besides insisting this.

When they inevitability try to put in the only thing you mentioned, its entirely their fault for the erase.

Your milage may vary depending on financial class.

I feel like there might be a couple of things you have the the wrong way around in this sentence.
