To be honest, if I had any of my devices taken from me by the police, sending a wipe request to them remotely would be the first thing I'd do as soon as I had a chance regardless of wether I had commited a crime or not!

I'm sure that would just increase suspicion that there was something to hide and trigger a deeper investigation.

And they will be even more annoyed when they find my twitter commentary revolves around a certain football club!
