Would police threaten to kill you if you don’t unlock your phone? Not likely.

"If you don't enter your PIN in the next 10 seconds we'll 'accidentally' deport your daughter".

    Yes, agencies with more power will have more ways to force you. CIA will be able to fly to a dark site and put a car battery to your balls until you give them the PIN. Normal cops during a traffic stop will not have much ways to influence you beyond detaining/arresting you but any cop will be able to take your hand and forcefully place your thumb on a fingerprint reader. And courts say it's legal.
