Usually if the police are raiding your business they have had to support their request for a search warrant.

If a large company installs data onfuscating kill switches in the event of a police raid, it's fair to believe that it's not to protect customer data.

If the police can request the data through other, less aggressive channels, I'm also okay with this. Many raids have been done where the legal grounds were shaky, but meanwhile the police has access to all your equipment and data for months/years while it is contested.
