    If autocrats manage to fully take over, they’ll just enact a policy that assumes you’re guilty of the charges if the phone, for whatever reason, gets wiped (especially after entering a code you provided). Your “right to silence” isn’t gonna last forever.

    You can’t fix an abuse of power issue with a technological solution, its only a bandaid, and it will stop working when blood keeps gushing out (aka: the instutions of democracy starts to completely fall apart)

      It needs to be a smarter mode where it only removes specified content (apps, browser history, and saved passwords maybe), so that the phone looks plausibly used when it unlocks.
