Law of evidence

Please read the article on compelled decryption. Then, assume you are a detective and wish to access an arrestee’s cellphone. You have properly obtained a warrant to access the phone, but you don’t have the pass code to open it and the arrestee invokes his Fifth Amendment privilege in refusing to give it to you.Please address these two questions:

(1) Will that objection be recognized and honored (sustained) by the court, or will the court compel disclosure?

(2) Does it matter whether access depends on a traditional passccode, or a finger print, or on facial recognition?
