Sounds like the police officer tried to gain unauthorized access to a device. And, while they were trying to crack it, they wiped all of its data.

I wonder if the police officer that did this will face criminal charges of unauthorized access and destruction of evidence.

And also there's a civil suit in there. The officer may have deleted valuable data on the victim's device, causing them harm. I wonder what the monetary value will be.

The duress password on graphene os wipes all the data, they probably threatened or force him so he gave them that password
