Careful locking your device before the cops get there. It could be considered tampering with evidence.
Got any evidence to back that up?
Not anymore, they tampered with it
🤣
In the States police can bust you on false charges and it will typically (but not always) fly in court.
They also have strong phone cracking software, despite what FBI says about piles of evidence locked away in phones.
Evidence is not a thing until you are at least accused of a crime or detained.
Even if this is true, and I'm not arguing that it isn't, if you've committed a different crime with a worse punishment, you'll have to take that into consideration.
