>>That a system you knowingly and on purpose set up to destroy evidence then worked exactly as intended once arrested isn't a defence.

Thieves also steal phones, not everyone is El Chappo's #2 guy

I'm not saying there is no legitimate reason for having that system, but if you reset the switch while knowingly having evidence on your phone then letting it triggering after being arrested is intentionally destroying evidence.
