I usually have my foot with me.

Foot + phone + ground = destroyed phone

But, with enough resources they could still read the memory in the phone even if it was smashed.

If the ground is solid and the police let you destroy evidence while they're detaining you.

It's what electronics crave!

Yes, the conductivity of electrolytes in solution will tend to short out conductive pathways in the short term, and contribute to corrosion of exposed metals later on.
