That man may still be in prison, but that drive is still encrypted.

If you are unwilling to give something you know to someone, no amount of force can take it from you. Had that drive been encrypted using facial biometrics, they could have just knocked him out, glued his eyes open, and taken what they wanted.

What works, and what has been deemed legal, as you probably already know, are not mutually exclusive.
