That's highly unlikely. How are you ever going to prove that the person just doesn't want to lose their main phone or risk having their information stolen by thieves? It's virtually impossible to get a conviction on circumstantial evidence. Now if you already have a reputation as a suspicious character in your own right, then being found with a burner phone might exacerbate that, but your argument basically depends on the judicial system as we know it ceasing to exist.


Conviction is not the issue. The issue is being detained indefinitely in an offshore torture camp. It's like people don't remember Guantanamo Bay.

The judicial system has no sway in Gitmo. Good luck!


They don't need to prove anything. That's the scary part.
