Re: FBI Digital Forensic Examination: A Case Study
Sorry, I didn't finish that thought. That was the point - that 99% of the time it's not some super secret next-next-gen ECHELON CSI super-crap that gets someone, it's the little things. Enhanced prints, broken tail lights, an unmasked IP address, shit like that. To put it in a metaphor, so many people waste so much time worrying about super-thieves getting past their laser grid that they never realize when they have their pocket picked, etc. On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 5:18 AM, Michael Best <themikebest@gmail.com> wrote:

You don't know if that happens 99% of the time. I highly doubt it does. Fact remains, the kind of access that governments have to electronic communications enables them to catch lots of people for whatever 'crime' they want.

That may be true sometimes, but government surveillance remains a pretty serious threat, and the claim that the cops catch people doing 'old fashioned' 'police work' is mostly a smoke screen/propaganda.

Do you realize how many times in the last decade alone the FBI crime lab's been skewered, SHUT DOWN ENTIRELY FOR FUCKING UP EVIDENCE? Did you know they are the ONLY agency that investigates their own shootings and they're ALL justified? That most of the people the FBI manages to put in prison aren't imprisoned for the charges sought, but for lying to a federal officer (which is why you SHOULD NEVER talk to the FBI. They know the answers before they ask the questions) Did you know that if I, or anyone with decent vision had the print card and that photo we could match it without any other forensic analysis than plain-sight observation? Dude You're either totally ignorant about this and just posting out of boredom or you're trolling. Probably both. Go watch CSI on TeeVee and believe in their invincibility. You'll be in good company amongst the programmed media-zombie 'mericans -- RR "You might want to ask an expert about that - I just fiddled around with mine until it worked..."

Don't seem to be seeing any criminal *defense* oriented teevee series in any country, now do we... it's all daily programming... defense only wins in the movies.
