What to do if I am being accused of video recording in a public bathroom?
The police have not issued a warrant to seize my phone or brought charges against me. I have personal photos of my partner and myself on my phone and would feel uncomfortable allowing others to see them. By law, can I erase these photos? What would be the repercussions of getting a new phone and throwing the other away?

Under the laws of all states in this country, the destruction of evidence as to a criminal investigation or a civil matter is a crime. Given what you have written, I suggest that you consult with a criminal defense attorney in your locality for further legal advice. Such an attorney can be found on attorneypages.com.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
