The exact circumstances around the search are not known. But activist Samuel Tunick is charged with deleting data from a Google Pixel before CBP’s Tactical Terrorism Response Team could search it.
I think the prosecutor is going to drop the charges because I don’t think he broke a law. So we’ll not find out…
But also, the defendant doesn’t have to prove anything and would probably be wise not to testify in court. If you decide that you’re going to testify at all, then they can ask you a lot of other questions that you probably don’t want to answer. So almost all of the time you should shut the fuck up. :-)
