I wonder when the app that wipes your phone if the GPS shows it to be at a police station or an evidence lockup will come out and what are the repercussions of having such an app will be.
- s73v3r_ 8y agoThere was the guy who sold the "secure" phone (it was targeted at drug dealers and cartel members). He would remote wipe them if they were in police custody. He's now going to jail. Courts take an extremely dim view of the willful destruction of evidence.
- dogma1138 8y agoThat’s a bit different if he actively wipped them once he knew they were in police custody that is tampering with evidence. However a self destruct mechanism that is either on a rolling timer or event driven for which you don’t need to take an action to initiate it but must take an action to stop it could be a legal loophole but it sure won’t look good in court.
