Usually there'll be a reason for the police to kick your door down. I imagine that plus destroyed evidence would be enough to prove beyond reasonable doubt.

- anthonyb 16y agoAlso, I don't think it necessarily needs to be proven that the evidence was incriminating; just destroying evidence is criminal behavior. Of course, IANAL, but that's how I'd do it if I ruled the world...
- loewenskind 16y agoHow do you know it was evidence or related to the bust?
- anthonyb 16y agoThere might be all sorts of reasons - if you're being busted for fraud or tax evasion and all of your hard drives are mysteriously blank, or there are empty filing cabinets and a big pile of ash then I would imagine that would go down fairly badly in court. The modern equivalent is a whole bunch of destroyed media - thumb drives, flash cards or hard drives.
