If they have physical access to the device, this won’t help.
They can simply produce a binary copy of the (still encrypted) information inside, via specialized hardware or backdoors via the CIA / Israel, then if you given them a duress code all they lose is either the original or the copy.
It depends what the law is in your country, but wouldn’t it be illegal for police to take away your phone without a warrant? Also, I find it not so probable that any cop has access to the top-secret-deep-state-backdoor.
For something to be illegal, the victim has to be able to press charges. And that doesn’t change the fact that once they got their hands on the device they’ve got the info, a mandate of law doesn’t make them “magically” forget the info.
