We need an OS that self-destructs all data if surrendered, and that should be a hardcoded feature of the OS.
Something like a fingerprint scanner that needs to be scanned at least once every 24 hours or all data gets erased.

You: "Sure, I can hand it over, but all data will then get wiped by the device automatically due to Google/Apple/Samsung's anti-theft hardware design and I don't have a choice in the software settings to disable that"
After that it's upto the Judge whether to proceed with the handover or not.
At this point, if the judge proceeds with the handover, it will be the judge who destroyed evidence.
Even if you wiped the data, if the government wants to seize your crud, they're still gonna take it.
Imagine a hypothetical phone that is covered in fingerprint sensors where if it senses foreign hands touching it, it auto-deletes everything. That might not be the most feasible hardware implementation but I'm sure we can think of something to that effect.
You want to automate the destruction of evidence? I understand thats typically treated as confirming whatever is the most damaging possibility.
