To the Cloud! Get the Evidence You Need to Move Cases Forward

Some of the most important sources of evidence in a criminal investigation are also the hardest to get.

Social media providers are infamous for their red tape, delaying your returns for weeks or even months. And, if you’re in a country other than where the provider is located, mutual legal assistance treaties can take years to process. Fortunately, there is a solution: obtain the evidence directly from cloud-based user accounts.
