> More silly than sending a man to prison for wiping his phone?
Invert the sympathies. An ICE agent or pedophile is arrested and pulls this stunt. Is that seriously protected behaviour?
To be clear, I don't think the agents should be allowed to even request a PIN, much less after refusing demands to speak to a lawyer. But normalising desrruction of evidence is a direct undermining of the rule of law in proportion to one's access to resources.
