It won't stand because it's not pragmatic. The issue around 'passwords being in your mind' is interesting, but they'll move past it.
If you have evidence of a crime on your phone, it must be part of the process.
There's nothing remotely unlawful about search of property so long as there is merit, oversight, warrant etc..
Ultimately, this will be no different than searching your car.
Now, the cops doing it without a warrant, shenanigans at the border, searchings stuff they should not be - this is all another matter entirely.
There will be some weird scenarios around people 'forgetting' passwords etc. but otherwise, it's just a new angle on the same old thing.
Those who would like to see better judicial reform I think should look elsewhere, into such issues as why/how warrants are issued, the transparency around them, etc..
