Because an encrypted partition on a device begs the question "What's hidden here", of anyone who for whatever reason looks at your device. Missing space on a drive begs an explanation.
Then use the plausibility deniability hidden partition.
I personally prefer not to involve the cops in the first place, but push come tobshove even if they cooerce you into revealing a key (which is illegal in the states) you can give them a phoney one to some financial looking docs.
Really, look into Veracrypt. It works with files, cheap over the counter thumbdrives, hdds, whatever. I know what I am talking about here. I've even been searched by police before (coworker was unbenownst to everyone into kiddy porn and a lot of devices were ceased). This approach works.

Nope, just deletes the private key, which honestly can be tricked out of those drives with some hightech hackery anyways. So why not skip all blackbox device management and just keep the key in your head?
You are free to do what you want of course. Any encryption is indeed better than none, and the police are indeed never your friend.
In other news, water is wet... heh.
