Why would anyone leave any chat history if this is the case?
The average person is quite careless.
Depending how how suspicious they get, they might sometimes plug in your phone into a computer and copy everything, there might be traces left behind when you "delete" something.
Government policies/procedures don't always make sense. (Example: The USA's TSA misses most prohibited items at airports, including weapons)
Or may its a way to psychologically intimidate people into not doing any act of dissent.
