Dealing with Evidence of paedophile images
Control of paedophile images
Retrieval of evidence
Evidence will usually be recovered from a computer
hard disk, floppy disks, CD-ROM, DVD, memory sticks,
CF cards or organisers/PDAs. These items will have
been seized at the scene and recorded in accordance
with existing procedures. It is essential that the security
of the media is evidentially sound between seizure and
production to the examiner. Continuity of handling will
also need to be proved. Furthermore, the security of
exhibits at the office of the examiner is equally important.
