"...This, and many other types of artifacts are often either completely overlooked by numerous commercially sold, expensive-as-hell tools, or in the case of at least one tool – seemingly made up data. All of these came into play in this case and would later play a role in its outcome..."
So -- prosecutors and investigators don't understand the tools they use to search phones, judges give them wide leeway in reporting such "evidence", AND some commercial tools make up data to return?
Does this not deeply concern anybody in any of the branches of the government? I hope I'm not being alarmist, but that statement, if true, seems to me to be incredibly damming of the entire criminal justice system. It's like saying the prosecutors determine who's guilty simply by selecting them for trial. The rest of the work is simply acquiring and configuring the appropriate "tools" (Note that it doesn't say they do this on purpose. I guess that's something.)
