We need some kind of multi-account that loads up according to what password gets used. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is something that already exists in rooted androids.
I doubt that's how the password is used for. More like they copy all contents of the phone and ask the password to go through encryption. The data is already there, accounts don't matter.
This is also the reason why it's no good to have a dead man's switch or the like, as in a certain password just wipes everything. You'd just get arrested for destroying evidence and they continue from a copy.
Yeah, pretty much any first year police IT is going to make an exact copy of the phone first.
