True or false? Deleting text messages might get you a new charge. The answer is true. Absolutely deleting your text messages after you know you're being arrested for an offense where they're going to use text messages against you is what we call destruction of evidence. Like my son Bailey, he had an Instagram and I knew he was doing something nefarious on his Instagram and I said, "Give me the phone. Give me the phone." Literally in 3 seconds, click, click, swipe, swipe, swipe. As he was handing me his phone, he deletes his whole Instagram. And so I get his phone and I'm like, "Did you really just delete your whole Instagram so I wouldn't see what you were DMing to your girlfriend?" Well, guess what? You're under arrest, buddy. You're grounded for the whole summer. He hated it.
