The U.S. government has charged Samuel Tunick with allegedly typing in a passcode to wipe his phone before officers could search it. “I hope people understand that the charges against me are meant to intimidate people,” he said.

Just another example of the Trump admin trying to intimidate protestors using whatever the fuck they can to bring up whatever charges they can.

This seems to be a clear case of "unreasonable search and seizure", aka a Constitutional rights violation, however the USA is increasingly lawless so who knows whether he gets off.
