      (Such as “Destruction of Evidence” charges)

      Just checked my state’s law. It specifies “intentionally” destroying the evidence. If you have it set up to do it after a certain amount of inactivity, your intent is not to destroy evidence. By all means a corrupt judicial system or police force could still abuse it. But it shouldn’t be illegal (at least in my state).

      Warning: IANAL

      It’s only destruction of evidence if it’s evidence of a crime. You can destroy data for countless reasons that are not crimes, but it might be up to you to show that it’s unrelated to a crime. Most large companies have a data destruction policy for that reason. If it gets called out in court (usually in civil cases), they can point to that policy. The docs weren’t shredded/erased to hide wrongdoing; they just haven’t been used in 24 months and that’s when our policy says to delete.
