I suspect that a judge/jury would not be sympathetic to a complaint along the lines of:
"I had no idea I would be under investigation when I saw the cops arriving at the door. I just decided it'd be fun to beat the shit out of my laptop with a hammer at that exact moment."

Smashing things in response to "the govt boys" walking in sounds like it would count, no?
Specifically, you need to knowingly be the subject of an investigation. I'd assume destroying the phone when you see the cops coming but before you've seen the warrant would be a grey area. Please, lawyers, clarify.
