Indirectly murdering hundreds of thousands of people in pursuit of profits.

For profit slave labor prisons are very lucrative I hear

Being white

Not if you live within the jurisdiction of the 4th Circuit. The court "ruled that a lower standard applies to manual searches, allowing the government to conduct extraordinarily invasive electronic device searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing, simply because the border officer chooses to search by hand rather than with a forensic tool."

Or loads a dummy profile and deletes other profiles without giving away what is happening.

I had this feature on a Xiaomi phone that i had a few years ago. I could even set up the fingerprint reader to open a different profile depending on which finger i used.

Dont think that would be as secure. Once a phone has been unlocked after reboot, even if it has been locked again, the operating system and ram can be accessed quite easily with the correct tools and border controls have those tools.

Even a Graphene phone is only properly secure before first unlock after reboot. So i would not personally rely on allowing acess to any profile. I would assume its possible, (probably trivial) to gain complete access from there.

Any duress pin use should be covered under a person's right to avoid self incrimination.

If the phone is owned by your employer and they are the investigation target, then you might be on dodgy ground.

Alternately, a user profile that isn't displayed anywhere, but accessible only through a specific PIN, maybe. Not sure how you'd explain the storage space either option used, however.

Or just set it to your mmddyy or something typical for weak passwords

How are they supposed to know there was evidence on it? I'm allowed to delete my files, aren't I?

Except that this person wasn't accused or even suspected of a crime.

If I understand correctly they didn’t actually delete anything it just shreds the encryption keys so it can’t be accessed. Idk if the difference matters a whole lot though.

In order to be convicted of destroying evidence, there needs to be proof that there was "evidence" on the phone in the first place.

If something on the phone is already known without doubt, then what's the need for access? if there is doubt at the time of the wipe then there is no proof or destroying evidence. 🤷‍♂️

They just accuse you of withholding evidence. Yay for freedom of speech.

Really? I feel like I'm constantly seeing complaints about the US's growing authoritarianism.
