I would personally argue Lineageos is significantly less safe and private than the OEM rom. If you're using a phone with LineageOS and an unlocked bootloader (which is basically needed for lineageos) it would bearly even be an inconvenience for them to bypass the OS entirely and just get all your data. Comparatively most stock rims are also pretty easy to hack into for any law enforcement with resources.

Tldr: Use grapheneos

Okay but suppose you managed to turn off the phone before they seize it, how does the unlocked bootloader matter? LineageOS use encryption

Isn't most people running linux with secure-boot off anyways? But a turned-off fde encrypted linux computer is still considered secure?

A lot of people wont like this but Linux isn't secure either
