I was arrested and my phone was locked. I refused to unlock my phone and the police hacked into the phone despite not granting them access.

Is this legal? I'm aware of Lepra 3LA but this is NSW and the judge says 3LA is commonwealth not NSW.

Can someone advise if this hacking was lawful and secondly no warrant was obtained.
