No, destroying evidence is a crime even if possession of that evidence is legal.
Who decided that it's evidence?
Evidence is simply a word to describe the artifacts that one wishes to use to support their case. There’s not some gate-kept process to “become evidence”.
Law enforcement. That's like, their job.
