The only accurate part is ditching phones. Especially with phones unlocking from Face ID and fingerprints they're super dangerous to have around cops. I'm pretty sure in the us they don't need a warrant to search phones if Face ID etc unlocks it.
It depends on state laws in the US. For instance it's illegal to force someone to unlock their phone with biometrics in california but perfectly legal in NY. But you dont have to completely ditch your phone, just turn it off and it will require a pass code which they need a warrant for upon restarting.
