New phone
I found an iPhone, but it’s iCloud locked, is there some way to legally unlock it?
iPhone 8 Plus
No. That is the purpose of the Activation Lock to prevent anyone but the owner from using it.
It isn't yours so turn it into the Police.

Not only is there not a way to "legally unlock" it, there is not a way for you to "legally" keep it.
Google "theft by finding".
Turn it over to the police. It doesn't belong to you.
Failure to do so may constitute a criminal act.
