Electronic Discovery: What You Might Not Know
A new phrase is being used in court rooms all around the world – electronic discovery. This is a process new to many legal proceedings, but will become more frequent in the near future. It consists of finding evidence on electronic devices such as computers and cell phones. Nothing that uses electricity is off-limits for electronic discovery.
The answer to these questions might shock you. Truthfully, data that is put onto a computer is never truly erased. The only real way you can get rid of that information is to take your hard drive out of your computer and break it into pieces so people can’t look at what you’ve got stored there.
This field of study is a new one and must constantly change and grow due to how technology is booming. Think of how many new ideas and technologies are being developed every day. Can you think of ways to keep up with how much that is changing, and still remain ethical in how you retrieve that information? I sure can’t.
Apart from finding information on a personal computer’s hard drive, electronic discovery reaches out into the internet, databases, and other networks. Email accounts are stored in many places, making them very difficult to delete permanently. Anyone looking in the right place can find almost anything people, especially criminals, are trying to hide by deleting their files.
For other branches of the criminal justice agencies to work with electronic discovery people, their relationship needs to grow as fast as the field of study. Through continually talking about what each branch does, any other faction of government can continue to work with those that perform electronic discovery jobs. What a good team they all can be.
Not even your cellular phone is safe from e-discovery! The court can take your phone to find pictures, audio files, documents, and even texts! This is just one more item you need to be careful with. Everything you do through your device can be tracked by your carrier and taken to court. Be careful what you talk about.
If you are interested in learning more about electronic discovery, there are plenty of places to do a little more research. The internet is a great place to start. If that doesn’t give you what you were looking for, try asking someone who has worked in a courtroom or any type of lawyer. They should have some exposure to it.
Electronic discovery really makes you think! Be careful about what you do while you’re on your computer (or any electronic devices, for that matter). Always be aware that you are leaving a paper trail a mile long and that even though you might delete something, it is never really taken from the memory.
