    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. An encrypted, password-protected mobile device can be useless if you have no way to get the password. 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.
