Exactly!
It's just Sony, look at Nintendo. They are trying to transition from cartridge to code for digial downloads. Steam has exploded the last 10 years and everything is digital
It's not a bad thing, tech is just evolving. People can make the comparison to cartridges when disk based consoles came out.
But he was proven guilty
No it wont.
Since covid, physical media has been declining sales. Since games and other media are only getting larger, it makes sense to have it digitally instead of multiple disks. Consoles and PCs are being made without disk drives.

You didn't even read past that. It then says "or investigation"
I'm kinda done talking as you're not even reading what I post.
Good day!
No it can be police that charge.
My state 100% has this law and police charge suspects for this.
ORC 2921.12 Tampering with evidence.
(A) No person, knowing that an official proceeding or investigation is in progress, or is about to be or likely to be instituted, shall do any of the following:
(1) Alter, destroy, conceal, or remove any record, document, or thing, with purpose to impair its value or availability as evidence in such proceeding or investigation;
(2) Make, present, or use any record, document, or thing, knowing it to be false and with purpose to mislead a public official who is or may be engaged in such proceeding or investigation, or with purpose to corrupt the outcome of any such proceeding or investigation.
(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of tampering with evidence, a felony of the third degree.
It's a federal law. It's been legal since the constitution was written. There have been numerous court hearings stating it's legal.
You might want to reread the 4th again. The supreme court has ruled international boarder crossing as a reaonable search, thus no warrant, RAS, or PC needed.
From the article
"The government’s indictment, which contains a typo (“Untied States Code”), accuses Tunick of allegedly providing a passcode to border agents that caused the phone to “delete the digital contents,” prior to the device being seized."
"When Tunick provided his passcode and the authorities entered it, “the screen went blank, flashed several times and the phone appeared to restart.” The authorities seized his phone anyway, before telling him that he was free to go and could enter the United States."
It depends. If the police suspect the owner has evidence of some sort on the phone, destroying it can lead to a tampering with evidence charge from the police.
A tampering charge doesn't have to be from a court order. If someone eats or dumps out drugs where the police can't collect the physical drug, it will stick.
But in the story's case, it falls within the 100 miles of the US boarder (called a boarder search exception) a warrant, probable cause, or RAS aren't needed here. It's considered a reasonable search so the 4th amendment is limited here.
There is a lot to it and really don't think this is the best format for it here.
Not like consumers will buy it anyways.
