Legal representation at the police station for internet and social media crimes
Legal representation for criminal offences involving the internet and social media
Unfortunately, when criminal offences involve internet use, it can be a real challenge to find suitable legal representation or a police station accredited representative who has adequate knowledge and experience, to deal with such matters. The vast majority of criminal defance lawyers who are qualified to provide legal representation at the police station, lack in the understanding which is required to be able to adequately represent their clients in relation to internet and social media crimes.
Still, too many alleged suspects who are called in for questioning, or who are being questioned by the police about internet related crime, end up with poor legal representation at the police station and at court, by lawyers who simply fail to properly grasp how the internet and social media really work.
There are also too many solicitors, barristers and often judges, who still find analysis of forensic internet and social media evidence extremely challenging and who find phrases such as SEO, DNS or URL too confusing and too "technical" to understand. At the same time, suspects who face police station interviews and possibly a charge for a serious criminal offence, are often unaware of the possibility that their actions could actually land them in jail.
The lack of understanding of the internet, in its deepest meaning, within many in the legal profession, could result in a significant disadvantage to a suspect who had been summoned to a police interview in a police station, where their telephone and computers are taken away from them and where their rights as suspects in a digital investigation is not communicated both to them and to the police property. If your police station representative is lacking the much needed knowledge and understanding of how the internet really works, this could impact on the outcome of the police investigation, and possibly the outcome of any criminal trial.
