Why the hell do they need a M$ tool if they have physical access to the PC?
Sounds to me like the investigators learned to use Excel yesterday and today they are learning to use the PC forensics in 3 easy steps wizard.![]()
To make it straitforward for people who no nothing about computers I'll bet.
As long as they still have to have a warrant for the search, it's not so bad. It just depends on whom has access to these things.
I suppose you might be thinking.... "oh.. this is not so bad"... but what if the police are Zimbabwe police... Chinese police... Russian police.. ?
From the article:
More than 2,000 officers in 15 countries, including Poland, the Philippines, Germany, New Zealand and the United States, are using the device, which Microsoft provides free.
"These are things that we invest substantial resources in, but not from the perspective of selling to make money," Smith said in an interview. "We're doing this to help ensure that the Internet stays safe."
What's the bet these are mostly used to fight "piracy" of M$ software?
