Or maybe you just don't want some cop to see your dick pics. If they had anything on this dude they wouldn't have needed to go through his phone.

I am explaining how the law works and the assumptions behind it. The law assumes that if you were embarrassed about your dick pics, that you would delete those before the officer is right about to search you.

The laws assumptions are bullshit.

This guy has no fucking idea how the law works. Destruction of evidence requires a primary crime, the one you're destroying the evidence for. There is no crime, therefore no destruction of evidence. Only an incompetent or corrupt judge would let this even go to trial.

Like just about every judge appointed by Trump.
