Yep, specifically for entering providing the duress password for the ICEstapo agent to into his phone that had GrapheneOS on it to wipe it before handing it over to it was taken by the authorities.
Which led to DHS/CBP prosecuting him for “evidence tampering”.
I’d still rather wipe my phone than openly give it to authorities. Guy should have had a better lawyer. Being arrested for evidence tampering when there is no crime is practically the same as being arrested with the only charge being resisting arrest. Good lawyer gets that case thrown out.
Wasn’t a guy persecuted for using kill switch just for that?

No. They already had him and the device, and he gave them the wipe pin when they asked him for the unlock pin. That’s destruction of evidence.
Destruction of what evidence? They didn’t have the phone unlocked. How do they even know anything was destroyed?
They’ve got nothing and it’s going be dismissed.
Sure, you try that in court. See how it goes for you.
