Comment on Man Charged for Wiping Phone Before CBP Could Search It

Yeah pretty sure if they are at your door the investigation has started. But a cell phone randomly is seriously pushing the definition of investigation me thinks.

I really don’t think that’s how it works.

Actually, that is how it works. And if you don’t believe us, then take 10 minutes and do a brief web search and you will find the same information… In this situation the law matches common sense which says that most of the time you are allowed to erase things on your own phone and when it is a special case then you need to know it’s a special case for it to be a crime.
