The downside to always using a passcode is that if you ever type it in public, cameras can capture what you type. Some of Flock’s cameras specifically have been shown to automatically zoom in on phones as well, I’m sure they aren’t the only ones that do so.
Personally, I’d just prefer locking it (by holding volume up and the side button), when I’m in a situation where LE might unlawfully demand I unlock it.
