This is an interesting idea, but was that GrapheneOS person a lawyer giving legal advice?

No, he wasn't, what is your point?

  • Today we see someone being arrested because they used a software feature. Next year we'll see someone being arrested because they played a cutesy trick and got the LEO to enter in the self destruct code.

    The engineers and techies involved have so far shown themselves to have poor intuition for understanding how the law is going to react. I think it behooves anyone still listening to their advice to also check in with someone who has a good intuition for how the law will react to this new idea.

  • It's possible that could be destruction of evidence as well. Why should it matter whose meat sticks type in the decoy pin?

    • It's harder for them to argue you were actively destroying evidence; you could say that you had written the wipe pin there for a legitimate use case like both your wallet and your phone get stolen
