The Electronic Evidence and its Admissibility in Criminal Proof

Source abstract

<p dir="ltr">The electronic evidence is distinguished from other types of evidence by the fact that it is a collection of magnetic or electrical fields or impulses that exist or are extracted from any digital device of any kind. These pulses are collected and analyzed using specialized programs and applications to produce images, audio, or video recordings that can be used to prove the crime and link it to the perpetrator. Electronic evidence exists in a digitally developed environment; understanding its characteristics and content relies on the use of specialized devices and tools that extract, analyze, and examine its content. Therefore, not all means of identifying and analyzing digital content can be considered electronic evidence—only those capable of extracting specific information. Without this, the evidence loses its value in proving digital crimes and establishing a connection to the perpetrator.</p>
