The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.

Just another example of the Trump admin trying to intimidate protestors using whatever the fuck they can to bring up whatever charges they can.

    I have no doubt that the government has access to zero days and/or just straight up image your phone so they can crack it at a later point in time if/when it is convenient to them. I used to think that was giving them too much credit and is in tinfoil hat territory but with the convergence of private interests and government, I truly think this is the reality of what can/does happen
