And then you get prosecuted for destruction of evidence, obstruction of justice and whatever else they can come up with.
As said in other threads, the solution is not technology.
- colemannugent 10y agoThis assumes that law enforcement actually knows you will have evidence. If the technology could remove everything that would be incriminating and leave benign data you would just be another non-techie traveler.
- eridius 10y agoThey don't need to know you have evidence. All they need to know is that you deliberately caused them to erase your device under the guise of unlocking it. Which means your device could have had evidence, and now you've made it impossible to prove that it didn't.
- idbehold 10y agoThe burden of proof is still on them, no?
- eridius 10y agoIANAL, but I don't think so. They don't have to prove that the data you just wiped contained evidence of wrongdoing, they just have to prove that you wiped the data after they asked for it. That's kind of the point of "destruction of evidence". If they already knew the contents of the data, they wouldn't actually need it, now would they?
