Those of us who have asked to avoid the cancer box and been subjected to a subjectively punitive pat-down and fashion show experience are already anticipating just that. Yay!
(And for added fun, call it a cancer box. Wow, when you get that one TSA who only has bad days will you get a great speech as well)
Parallel construction is a way to present evidence illegally obtained by coming up with a plausible-seeming other way it was found.
So, rather than saying “we illegally stopped and searched the defendant” they’ll get an “informant” (sometimes paid, sometimes coerced) to swear that they tipped them off beforehand.
It’s a form of lying, but with a specific meaning.
Like how the 9th (or 8th, depending on how you’re counting) Commandment says to not bear false witness. That doesn’t mean that people following an Abrahamic faith cannot lie… just that they can’t lie in that one specific way.
My hot take: the officer wiped the phone. With their own hands. They’re just stupid.
If they succeed I guess in the future an officer could delete your phone to save face then blame it on you.

Hotter take: The phone was empty when he handed it over. There was nothing to delete.
It doesn’t look like anything to me.
Yeah, they are masters of parallel construction. ( Aka lying)
