"Evidence" has never been limited to the subject of a warrant. Destruction of evidence statutes typically include material that is subject to a police investigation.
- SubiculumCode 3mo agoBut are not investigations typically under some reasonable suspicion that a crime had occurred?
- kube-system 3mo agoReasonable suspicion is required for a terry stop but that does not apply at a border crossing. Everyone can be stopped and questioned and searched at a border crossing. An ”investigation” is just a fancy word that broadly describes the type of information collection that law enforcement does. Yes, it is typically about things they think are crimes. Because that’s their job. But there’s not some legal hurdle they have to pass here, the word describes their work.
- 8note 3mo agothey of course arent police and arent investigating anything instead they are harassing
- kube-system 3mo agoIt is illegal to destroy evidence even if you weren’t guilty of the crime that was allegedly being investigated. If someone accuses you of a crime, committing a different crime is probably not a good move, in any situation.
