Get fucked, it's enshrined in the U.S. constitution against unreasonable searches and seizures through the 4th ammendment. You are not obligated to incriminate yourself in anyway.

    The right against self incriminating is the 5th amendment. And he's being charged for destroying evidence, not for not providing it. But I love the spirit.

    I believe they're citing two different rights in the Bill of Rights. They mention the Fourth amendment which provides against unwarranted search and seizure and then as an addendum they allude to the fifth amendment which provides against self-incrimination.
