Seems like you fell in one of the categories that Joshua Marpet delineated: "Pressure, ranging to duress, to delete stills or video." Being a network guy, I tend to think of network based solutions. Any reason that real time streaming to a safe place would not have worked? Maybe coupled with clear text copies of some pictures on the device itself, which you could volunteer to delete before they hurt you too much?
