Isn't this a reasonable ask?
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoAbsolutely. It's disgraceful that they can opt-out of discovery simply by outsourcing part of the investigation to a third-party.
- c4mpute 3y agoReasonable for the average computer geek. Not reasonable for a judge who wants to get things done and be on time for lunch. It is shocking and disgusting how ignorant the legal profession is about any real kind of science and engineering.
- mike_d 3y agoGenerally, no. As I mentioned up thread you need to have some basis to show the court there is some chance you'll change the outcome of your case if you are granted access to the source code. For example if a blood draw at the hospital yielded wildly different results, or the machine froze up multiple times during the test.
