They would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you only flushed it after hearing them knock on the door.
There's a whole lot of caselaw surrounding this, and they will get someone to destroy the pipes to find out when they were flushed (their word goes, good luck finding someone impartial to say that wasn't what happened). I wish court cases were built on 1's and 0's like computer code but that's just not the way the world works.
