This is Graphene OS had a distress code you can enter that will wipe the phone.

I wonder though, if you had that set up and the cops ask you for the code to unlock and you told them the code to wipe and they end up wiping the phone. Would they be able to charge you with evidence tampering?

How would they know

Because instead of unlocking, everything would get deleted when they entered the code.

They wouldn't know it was you.
