Yep, specifically for entering providing the duress password for the ICEstapo agent to into his phone that had GrapheneOS on it to wipe it before handing it over to it was taken by the authorities.
Which led to DHS/CBP prosecuting him for “evidence tampering”.
I’d still rather wipe my phone than openly give it to authorities. Guy should have had a better lawyer. Being arrested for evidence tampering when there is no crime is practically the same as being arrested with the only charge being resisting arrest. Good lawyer gets that case thrown out.
Reminder to factory reset your phone before handing it over the authorities.
Wasn’t a guy persecuted for using kill switch just for that?

He’s going to be prosecuted, whether he’s found guilty and what he’s found guilty of is still TBD
No. They already had him and the device, and he gave them the wipe pin when they asked him for the unlock pin. That’s destruction of evidence.
