A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

He'll get off this charge easy. It's his phone he can do whatever the fuck he wants to do with it. Wiping your phone is not an illegal act.
If he had received a valid court order to not delete anything on his phone, then doing so could put him in legal trouble. So what you said is not true in general. But most of the time, for almost everyone, almost all of the time, then, yes, it's okay to wipe your phone... And because the article did not mention a court order, we can be sure that there wasn't one.
