I delete my history regularly. I wonder if this would hold up if you had a program that automatically deleted your history every day. It seems the intent is that people that knowingly delete incriminating evidence can be charged. However, would you be charged for not preventing a program from deleting it on a schedule that was created before the evidence was?Prosecutors are able to apply the law broadly because they do not have to show that the person deleting evidence knew there was an investigation underway.
