U.S. Activist Facing ‘Entirely Unprecedented’ Charges After Phone Wiped During Airport Search

Courtney is quoted in CTV News on the federal case against Atlanta activist Samuel Tunick, who’s accused of destroying evidence after a phone security feature wiped his device during a border search. Courtney called the prosecution “entirely unprecedented,” noting it may be the first time federal law has been used to treat a phone’s built-in security feature as deliberate destruction of evidence.
