Good question. If they have a database of fingerprints/eyeprints or faceprints, then yes. If no then not. And if the OS stores fingerprint locally, then again, no.

the os stores it locally. safe from this side
I would say the bigger risk is law enforcement can compel you to unlock the phone depending on where you live. Can always say you forget a password, can't say you forgot your finger.
