  • No it can be police that charge.

    My state 100% has this law and police charge suspects for this.

    ORC 2921.12 Tampering with evidence.

    (A) No person, knowing that an official proceeding or investigation is in progress, or is about to be or likely to be instituted, shall do any of the following:

    (1) Alter, destroy, conceal, or remove any record, document, or thing, with purpose to impair its value or availability as evidence in such proceeding or investigation;

    (2) Make, present, or use any record, document, or thing, knowing it to be false and with purpose to mislead a public official who is or may be engaged in such proceeding or investigation, or with purpose to corrupt the outcome of any such proceeding or investigation.

    (B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree.




  • It depends. If the police suspect the owner has evidence of some sort on the phone, destroying it can lead to a tampering with evidence charge from the police.

    A tampering charge doesn’t have to be from a court order. If someone eats or dumps out drugs where the police can’t collect the physical drug, it will stick.

    But in the story’s case, it falls within the 100 miles of the US boarder (called a boarder search exception) a warrant, probable cause, or RAS aren’t needed here. It’s considered a reasonable search so the 4th amendment is limited here.

    There is a lot to it and really don’t think this is the best format for it here.








  • I just get annoyed with questions that a simple 5 minute search will solve.

    “What distro is best for gaming?”

    “Will linux run on my (insert random PC specs)?”

    “Why does (insert Windows/MacOS program) not work on the linux? Linux is crap then!”

    “Recommend me a free antivirus software for linux”

    “Why does Arch not work on my PC from the early 2000’s?”
