Uber Tries to Remotely Encrypt Corporate Data During Government Raid

Oh, man.

An attempted coverup is often punished harshly. Richard Nixon and Martha Stewart should have taught everyone that. How is this not obstruction of justice[1], or whatever Canada calls it?

   Obstruction charges can also be laid
   if a person alters, destroys, or conceals
   physical evidence

Canada calls it the same thing. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Canadian_Criminal_Law/Offences/...

Obstruction of justice might be punished less harshly than whatever the data they were encrypting implicates them in.

Generally the best legal strategy is to not do anything illegal, but sometimes that window has already closed ;)
