You can destroy your phone and erase your computer hard drive today, and you arent breaking any laws.
YOU can, sure. These government employees doing that to their government issues phones that had data that was owned by the government? That breaks lots of laws, rules and regulations.
You have me mixed up with Alberta’s Child, but I do agree with you about destruction of government property. I want to see more about the cell phone resets. It seems to me it would be in violation of data retention policies, but is it illegal? I don’t know anything about FED IT to pass judgement.
