since I was on the topic of cybercrimes and stuff, thought i'd put a post up here about forensic investigators. Turns out, many HDD's evidence has been invalidated by the fact that investigators did not make a mirror image of the HDD before looking at the content. Also was reading about paranoid people fearing that even a destroyed disk, such as a shattered hard drive platter, could still have recoverable info on it. So if they had MP3 files or other illegally downloaded music on it, wold the HDD possibly be effective in retaining evidence? I don't see how anyone could make a mirror image of HDD pieces that were shattered, especially ones such as lap top hard drives made of glass. Yes, those fragments of the HDD can be read by microscope and so forth, but only the most elite gov agencies would have the technology to do so. And if it was evidence they were looking for, well, evidence tampering comes into question. Not to mention the HDD was not even in there possession. ( This is of course if they wanted to go to the trouble in the first place.) Just wondered if anyone had thoughts on the subject. Kind of a new thing out there that has come up advances in technology
