CRJ 225 - The Law of Searching, Seizing and Using Digital Evidence

Computer evidence (“digital evidence”) is being used every day in our country to convict criminals of crimes ranging from possession of child pornography to embezzlement to murder. Every competent, modern law enforcement officer understands the significance of digital evidence in every case submitted for prosecution. Students will be required to learn, and apply legal principles that govern how this vital evidence is recovered (and used) to insure that it will be legally admissible in court.
