A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.
Apparently destroying property to prevent it being seized is a crime in itself. 12th paragraph in the article, just after the part where they can seize things from people crossing the border before they cross the border, without any warrants etc, because they haven’t crossed the border, yet their jurisdiction has apparently started enough to conduct seizures even though legally you’re still on the other side of the border.
what was the crime committed? I know they claim the guy “suppressed evidence”, but evidence must point towards a crime that is at least suspected.
It’s the US. The courts don’t have to let you go free just because you’re innocent.
Spoken like a non US citizen who watches too much bullshit on TV.
Haha spoken like an US citizen who knows shit about his own country:

Yeah the courts have often been ruling against the administration.
Even the supreme court has ruled against them
