In-Depth Information
business.might.be.able.to.arrange,.but.that.a.private.person.
is.unlikely.to.have..Of.course,.law.enforcement.or.attorneys.
have.legal.procedures.that.might.allow.them.to.gain.access.to.
some.of.this.data.if.the.data.are.located.at.the.provider.or.on.
a.personal.device.
In.most.cases,.a.private.customer's.access.to.this.data.is.
going.to.be.limited.to.the.records.a.provider.keeps.for.billing.
on.your.account,.and.anything.that.the.device.will.report.on,.
such.as.minutes,.most.recent.contacts,.and.so.forth..But.that.
can. be. important. and. valuable. information,. so. it. behooves.
you.to.be.aware.of.it.and.to.understand.how.to.access.it.
If.you.are.a.legal.professional,.law.enforcement,.or.an.IT.
staff.person.who.might.be.providing.assistance.in.this.regard,.
it.is.important.to.consider.all.of.the.types.of.data.that.exist.
and.to.become.familiar. with.the.resources,. tools,.and.skills.
required.to.acquire.it..In.coming.chapters.we.discuss.those.in.
detail,.so.stay.tuned.(or.skip.ahead.if.you.can't.wait).
3.11 DIGITAL VIDEO
If. you. look. up. digital. video. recording. on. the. Internet,. you'll.
ind.that.they.want.to.tell.you.all.about.that.little.black.box.that.
some.of.you.television.addicts.have.attached.to.your.TV,.such.
as.Tivo.or.your.cable.company's.DVR..They.are.basically.a.
large.hard.drive.with.a.connection.to.your.cable.TV.provider.
that.allows.you.to.record.hours.of.television.offerings.and.play.
them.back.(skipping.the.commercials.if.you.like).at.a.later.time.
While.those.devices.store.a.great.deal.of.electronic.data.that.
could.conceivably.be.used.as.evidence.(perhaps.just.to.show.
your.tendency.toward.sappy.romances.or.violent.cop.shows),.
they.are.not.the.type.of.digital.video.we.will.discuss.here.
However,. it. is. still. worthwhile. to. note. that. there. is. data.
there. and. that. because. it. is. basically. digital. storage,. it. can.
hold.electronic.evidence.that.might.need.to.be.captured.and.
preserved..It.is.just.one.more.place.you.should.keep.in.mind.
as.you.are.considering.all.of.the.possible.sources.of.informa-
tion.that.surround.you.
