It would be the definition of destruction of evidence.
- RyanKearney 15y agoI thought about that, but wouldn't it only be destruction of evidence if YOU were the one that destroyed the evidence? Just because it was set off when the cop/FBI/whomever moved your computer doesn't mean you wanted it to happen, right?
- weaksauce 15y agoI am not a lawyer. This type of device can have legitimate use as well though. Think about if you are the guy that knows the coca-cola recipe. The destruction of the recipe by hd degaussing is good when a competitor comes to your office and steals your computer. Though, you would need a pretty large degaussing device to erase the hd beyond forensic analysis.
- e40 15y agoAbsolutely not. As another poster pointed out, if it predated the court order, it would be 100% legit. Say I wanted to make sure my data was safe in the event of theft? Wiping the data on movement would be a clear way to do that.
