Documenting vehicle searches and physical inspections for forensic purposes – Providing forensic support for systematic physical vehicle searches
Before any digital data backup is carried out, a systematic physical inspection of the vehicle is often conducted to identify hidden storage media, retrofitted devices or physical signs of tampering.
This inspection is documented in a manner that is forensically verifiable, to ensure that no relevant physical evidence is overlooked.
Why LanCologne?
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We carry out a systematic physical inspection of the vehicle, document any abnormalities both photographically and in writing, and determine the next steps to be taken on that basis.
Typical areas of application
How a forensic vehicle inspection is carried out
The vehicle is systematically inspected in accordance with a set inspection procedure; relevant areas are documented photographically and any anomalies are recorded in writing before the actual data backup begins.
Why is a forensic vehicle inspection important?
A thorough physical inspection can prevent relevant evidence, such as retrofitted tracking devices or hidden data storage devices, from being overlooked.
Comprehensive documentation of the inspection also enhances the traceability of the entire chain of custody.
