Your Honor, the department misplaced the devices during the chaos of debriefing. By the time we retrieved it the data has self-destructed.


You could spin any bullshit story around any device. If you do not have some degree of discipline with your meatspace domain, there's no hope for the hardware domain either. Even the most secure devices on earth can eventually be compromised if you allow all policy to fall away and just let the hardware fend for itself.

The police can and should be held to a higher standard regarding evidence and chain of custody. The tools are only half of this picture. It is a synergistic approach.


Shouldn't that policy or standard be about proper data disposal in the first place?
