It's only encrypted in a BFU state, (before first unlock). Police can probe your phone for data using a tool by cellebrite without root. GrapheneOS includes a auto rebooting feature to place it back in a BFU state but other phones will lack this feature. Using Molly's database lock allows you to not trust the OS itself by encrypting it.

edit: corrected cellbrite to cellebrite
