He didn’t delete it. The officer did.

I wonder if he’ll sue them for damages

Lol I think they’ll loose. It’ll be good to have legal protection for this tech.

The accused is a Stop Cop City activist in Atlanta.

Pretty sure all cops have fat fingers. Too many doughnuts

When Tunick provided his passcode and the authorities entered it, “the screen went blank, flashed several times and the phone appeared to restart.” The authorities seized his phone anyway, before telling him that he was free to go and could enter the United States.

Very glad to hear that he’s a free man while the courts try to figure out what to do.

Also it’s hilarious that he didn’t wipe it. The officers did it. I think it’s going to be very hard to get a conviction of this activist when it was the officer that wiped the data.

Is shutting down your phone considered tampering with evidence? It wipes the key from memory

What about lockdown mode?

This is a slippery slope

We are. And that’s completely legal

Giga is the Spanish word, so they might just use it because it’s more bilingual friendly
