Treat the destruction of evidence as proof of guilt and assume the worst case scenario. Ya know, the thing we do with criminals.

We don’t turn destruction of evidence as proof of guilt with criminals, it’s just a separate crime.

[–] NightAuthor@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Legally we don't, but generally, as people... I think most of us look at destruction of evidence as at least evidence of guilt.

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Since when is that proof of guilt? I can see it being it's own specific crime, but it proves nothing.

It only works with people. Capitalism.

Yeah, I know that. I didn't say what WILL happen, just what SHOULD
