The authorities conducting the illegal search entered the code, so the phone owner could assert that he gave them the right password and they were the ones that screwed it up. It's a bit late for that argument, but someone could use that in the future and there'd be no way to prove it wrong.

for research purposes, how would one go about setting this up?
I can't seem to find it in my set up. There is no option for duress pin under device unlock selection
Are you using grapheneOS?
Yep e/OS 3.7.1
E: well I'm a fucking idiot
Eos is not GrapheneOS
E/os isn’t graphene and doesn’t have a duress pin feature.
Lmao, the edited comment
GrapheneOS also has options to turn off USB port so that authorities plugging in devices to try to bypass phone lock can't be exploited. And user needs to supply password to change the USB options.
I think he was using graphene os
sorry accidentally did a duress oopsie uwu bite me
