With all of the data we keep on our smartphones these days, it’s no surprise that devices like the iPhone have become increasingly useful pieces of evidence in police investigations. After all, poring through a suspect’s smartphone can often give investigators insight into pertinent contacts, accomplices, along with information as to how certain crimes were planned and carried out.
In light of that, a New York woman named Juelle L. Grant — whose iPhone X was taken in as a piece of evidence in a drive-by shooting investigation — recently managed to frustrate law enforcement authorities by wiping her device remotely. While iOS users have long been able to wipe their devices, this functionality was obviously designed for folks with lost or stolen phones. As it turns out, it can also be used to destroy potentially incriminating evidence.
