@courtneyjordan_esq: Police took Lil Durk’s phone when he was the victim of a home invasion. They copied everything on it. Nearly 5 years later, a different agency working a different case pulled that copy back out and used it against him. A judge just said that's allowed. What it means for you: once the government copies your phone, for any reason, even a case where you were the victim, that copy doesn't expire. It can sit in a file for years, and a different agency in a case you've never heard of can get a fresh warrant and use it against you. The moment your data leaves your hands, you stop controlling where it goes. #DigitalEvidence #FourthAmendment #PhonePrivacy #KnowYourRights #Surveillance
There was a shooting near my hiuse and the police asked for an image of the shooter's car driving past my house. After checking the local newspaper to confirm his story about the shooting (a gang initiation required shooting into a random approaching car, which hit a 14-year-old girl) I agreed and used my phone to photograph the monitor. But then the police wanted me to download their software to send them this image. After several minutes, I became suspicious that the download was taking so long and turned it off.
I told the detective that I wanted to send him the photo by WhatsApp. He repeatedly demanded that I wait for the download but, explaining that I was suspicious that he was installing malware on my phone, I held firm.
He shouted, "You mean you trust the Chinese Communist government more than your local police department?"
I replied, "Yes." Then I googled WhatsApp and found thst they are not Chinese owned - he was lying.
He reluctantly installed WhatsApp and I sent him the photo. I'm not sure how much good it did him. It did not show the license plate or the occupants, just a car matching the description he gave me driving past my house about 30 to 45 seconds before they shot inro another car.
My questions are:
1) Did the police copy data off my phone during those few minutes of supposed downloading of their communication app?
2) Did they install malware that would monitor my phone's location or send them future data?
3) Did they hide compromising images (like child corn) on my phone so they could later have a gotcha moment where they "discover" this image on my phone.
I was so worried about #3 that I scrolled through my gallery and did not find anything. Then I took my phone to an IT expert and asked him to search it for a hidden compromising image but he gave me some vague story about how he could not be sure there was no such photo because it could be "anywhere."
4) Can you recommend an IT person who can be more confident?
I'm a locksmith and I always photograph the customer's driver's license and registration before making a car key to prove that I'm working for the vehicle owner. I can't just delete all those photos and start with a new phone.
