    We’re not taking about breaking into people’s stuff, we’re talking about destruction of evidence. The phone was collected as evidence. Then its contents were destroyed.

      The time at which the phone was wiped the phone did not meet the legal requirements to be considered evidence. Therefore wiping the phone at that time does not constitute as destruction of evidence. You are conflating the legal definition of “evidence” with the layman’s definition of “evidence”.
