What type of evidence are you thinking of? If they found something like child sex abuse material, or chat logs with gang members about trafficking drugs, how would the defense attorney convince you Signal might have planted that?
- LorenPechtel 5y agoIt depends on the nature of the material. What if the booby trap went and downloaded random files of 100k+ size from some dark web site? On the other hand, if it's chat with names in it, it's likely not from the booby trap.
- nearbuy 5y agoYou're still going to have a very hard time convincing the jury that Signal booby trapped your phone to download child porn at random from the dark web. Law enforcement doesn't confiscate and use Cellebrite on phones at random. If they have a warrant to search your phone, they already have some reason for suspicion. For example, maybe someone accused the defendant of molesting a child, but the police didn't have hard evidence. They use Cellebrite and find some child porn. The defense argues that Signal might have planted it there with a booby trapped file that downloads stuff at random from the dark web. Do you think the jury will buy that? At that point, why not just say you left your phone unlocked in public and a stranger probably used it to download the child porn?
