JTAG is really non-forensic method?

I should bring JTAG on the table again. By chance, I read the subject "Feedback on UFED system" and thanks to yunus' comment, I could think out of my box and came up with the new thought; "What is wrong with JTAG method forensically?"In advance, I would like to let potential readers know that I am not an engineer who do know about JTAG tech in detail and forensic industry, nor do I argue with anyone about what is right and wrong. Please do not try to argue with in that sense. If you have different thought, these comments are more than welcome. Otherwise, I am not going to respond to comments which intend to convince me about your thought. In S.Korea, law enforecement have used JTAG method to acquire the data.At first, when I read the article by Mr. Svein Willassen; Forensic analysis of mobile phone internal memory,I thought that JTAG method was the right way of acquiring and analyzing data. (For your reference, I added this paper. http//www.willassen.no/svein/pub/mobilememory.pdf) Then, I started looking for more info and found out that JTAG has been considered as non-forensic method in this industry because of interfacing with mobile phones.(probably it was not correct terms here) Until the new thought struck me, it was true to me. However, I started thinking about it differently this time. In any industry, when experts need to make a new standard for existing technology, it has been created not because it has been true without doubt but because people in this industry promise to consider it a standard. In S.Korea, JTAG is the necessary tech for investigators to find out some data from mobile phones. Nobody doubt that JTAG is one of forensic techs, at least in S.Korea. Considering these facts, who could claim that JTAG is NOT the forensic method?

Is there any document that "approves" a forensics process?
What body of forensic expertise and intellect, and legal heights would be the approval body?
