Today, we dumped an I-Phone of this shitty kid (excuse my language). Not only did he have over 1200 photos on his I-Phone, he also did not realize that he hadn't deleted incriminating evidence that the police can now use against him. There were pictures of him with brass knuckles and a couple other seriously incriminating pictures.
BRASS KNUCKLES ARE ILLEGAL WEAPONS.
So, not only did it take a while to sort through all his junky pictures.... (How many pictures of your girlfriend's nail polish and stupid text message conversations do you even need?!) but we were only looking for very specific things. To see if he was distributing marijuana, to see if we could put the brass knuckles in his hands, to see if he took any pictures at the scene of the crime.
Wanna know the best part? When you take pictures with phones, especially I-Phones for some reason, they take the latitude and longitude of the location where you took those pictures. That information is RAW data, and you can't change or remove RAW data. So this kid is basically screwed. Now, not only that, but you can get date, time, and any of those basic things you would want to know just from the picture itself. This also goes for facebook messages, videos, etc. He has provided the police with enough evidence to charge him... and they have evidence to back it up as well.
Basically, you should NEVER put anything online, or on your phone that you wouldn't want anyone to see. Especially the police.
This post in short is awesome, the quick to read article gives too much factual information to help others. Great article Zoe.
