Sure lawyers rely on semantics. But I said “silly semantics”.
Claiming that destroying evidence of a crime proves no crime was committed is the logic of a 1 year old who thinks the world disappears when they close their eyes.
A lawyer can go into court and argue semantics around the edges but isn’t going to get very far using semantics to argue destroying evidence also erases a crime.

A wiped phone cannot contain contraband data, so the border search exemption cannot apply.
