So don't lie about it.
"I just entered my duress pass code, the device is now wiped".
Can they charge you with destruction of evidence when they have no idea if/what evidence was on the phone?
- hvidgaard 9y agoI'm pretty sure they can. And they will probably successfully argue that since you did destroy evidence, you were hiding something.
- dymk 9y agoHow do you honestly think that will go down for you or anybody else that tries it, telling a federal officer that you just destroyed the thing they asked you to open?
- nly 9y agoIf you're willing to destroy the data to prevent it being read, why not just wipe the phone before you leave and restore it from an encrypted online backup when you arrive?
- Mithaldu 9y agoArriving with "empty phone" has also caused refusal of permission to enter in the past.
