Thanks.

I raised the question, because i want to understand, how much police in France needs to do to issue an order to unlock a phone. It does not sound too bad to me, if they have to go through a judge and a hearing to issue the order.

The problem is that the prosecutor can issue a blanket order that forces any person, company or organization to hand over to the police any and all digital information and data that may be related to the investigation. And as with all blanket orders, this gives a lot of leeway to the police.
