Best practise

[jerovsek]

Hello,

I would like to discuss, what is your best practise in cases, when you perform Raw recovery and there are some XXX files on drive.

I just pretend I didn't see it. Not my business what data they are storing, and I try not to look too closely. Unless it's the illegal sort. Then you gotta report it.

Seen it a bit, I agree with Jared. Never saw any CP but if I did would definitely report it.

What you mean XXX files? Porn?

 

[Jared]

Yes I'm quite sure that's what he means. If you Google the expression you'll see.

I've only had to testify once because of child porn we stumbled upon. I certainly hope I never run across that crap again...it would be nice not to stumble upon any porn again.

Yep, I've learned that when I need to check some files, I try to be wise in my selection. A folder like "Christmas 2012" is usually safe to do a quick data check. In raw recoveries, I generally check a few higher resolution pictures as the filth usually comes from the Internet and has been compressed to lower resolution.

I'd imagine that if you look hard enough half the drives we work on have that stuff. But it's not for us to police any more than all the copyright infringement we see.

Hello,

thank you for your replay.
I agree with illegal stuff.
But how you handle cases, when customer bring you drive/card which belong to family, kids, employee,...

 

[Jared]

I just pretend I didn't see the crap and give it back to them. Maybe it'll cue the parents in to what their kids are doing. Or help a wife know what her husband is doing when she's not home. Either way, it's not your job to cover up for them.
