Pair Locking Your iPhone
You can also press the lock button five times to make it refuse to unlock without a valid passcode.

Just tried that (iPhone 8) and it did reject my fingerprint but only after issuing a loud WHOOP WHOOP “Emergency SOS” and 3 second countdown to make an emergency call (presumably 911).
Hardly a stealth move to pull at the border!

Press and hold volume up and lock button. No sound.

Oh, I keep that feature off so I didn’t realize it also will dial the emergency number. Thanks for the heads up!
