T elephone & Electronic Evidence

We live in a world where data is collected from electronic and other digital devices such as cars, telephones and computers. 

For example, telephones operate by linking to masts and can store data such as cell site data, text messages, WhatsApp messages, snapchat conversations, social media accounts, and searches on the internet. The prosecution builds cases by attempting to link, by way of attribution, mobile phone numbers and their contents to those accused of a criminal offence. The prosecution will attempt to do the same with laptops, computers and other devices – for example by attempting to link an IP address. 

Vehicles also store date – telemetry data, biometric data, location data, and data revealing real-time vehicle speed data, particular in combination with vehicle location data can reveal speeds travelled and pinpoint locations visited.
