I recently had a conversation with a forum member over the phone re this subject.
basically the handset to be examined belonged to a male being questioned re grooming young girls,there were photographs etc on the handset and without any meta data pertaining to the pictures how could we tell he had them sent directly to his phone,and does he send "requests" to others?
Hope I have this correct but….Table B7 (n25, n26) are disabled so he cant have had them directly downloaded to his phone,or be sending any! however what if we only got access to this phone/sim but his other SIM (inadvertantly not seized) has these enabled?is there any trace of the unseized SIM left on the handset or would it be just a case of proving this can only be done via the service providers records
person i spoke to on the phone……….dont need a comment from you my friend just yet, wanted to guage reaction / thoughts etc from others
Sorry if I missed it in the post above, but what reason do you have to believe that the images were sent over the mobile network rather than peer-to-peer (bluetooth for example?)
Alex,
No I dont have the notion that they were sent this way, bluetooth etc is also viable what I am after is the actual nailing down of certain bits of evidence ie, anon tip comes in about the fella who lives at no 45 ?? street information states amongst other things that he is sending pictures etc to another party/parties either for sale or to annoy, intimidate etc,now he may be in possesion of mobile phone but the service table tells us that (at least with this handset) he cannot have sent such,appreciate we can get this evidence other ways but was interested to see if this way could be done and relied upon as another bit of evidence gathered by the actual examiner
