That's an easy solve with a charge of corrupting of evidence or some such. We know you weren't at the Taylor Swift concert 2 states away because your WiFi history and cell tower triangulation puts you on the couch watching the Love Island.

do the chattels and daily dealings, of life become evidence at birth, or do you have to commit a crime before anything becomes evidence?
When the Eye of Sauron gazes upon you, by nature of the gaze you are under suspicion. Depending what is found while the gaze is upon you might decide if you are guilty or not. However, you cannot be ruled out as a terrorist until you've been under that gaze. By falsifying your data just means that the gaze will be much more intense because you're clearly behaving in the manner of someone guilty. It takes time to determine if that guilty looking behavior is because of guilty actions or just some nerd trying to corrupt the data. Either way, you are behaving like a subversive, so you'll just be remembered for that for future investigations.
that suggests, the chattels and daily dealings, of life become evidence at birth, is true.

by extension 5th amendment is hogwash, shielding the obviously guilty.
