    “Adams claimed that after he learned about the investigation into his conduct, he changed the password,” and he “increased the complexity of his password from four digits to six,” the document reads. Adams said he did this to stop members of his staff “from inadvertently or intentionally deleting the contents of his phone because, according to Adams, he wished to preserve the contents of his phone due to the investigation.”

    Sure thing, bud.

          Also, cellebrite.

          Edit: if people think forensics uses the actual device that would severely hinder any investigation.

          That would risk tampering, or destroying evidence.

          Copies are made.

          Technology exists.
