Cases we've seen in the past

In the past, we’ve seen cyber crimes cases dismissed through proving:

  • Evidence was obtained illegally  - Like with physical property, law-enforcement officers need either the owners permission or a search warrant to legally search someone's computer. If any evidence was obtained without following proper protocol, it will be considered in admissible in court. 

  • An alibi -  Like with physical crimes, we may be able to demonstrate that you could not have been using your computer at the time the alleged crimes are committed and the charges may be dropped. It is not unheard of for incriminating information to have been planted on someone else's computer without their knowledge. 

  • Complete ignorance - Computers can be used by any of the many people who passed through a home or office. Additionally, they can be accessed remotely via the Internet. If we can demonstrate that a person accused of a crime had no knowledge that the computer was being used in a legal manner, we may be able to have the charges dropped. 

  • Unintentional access - If the crime was illegally accessing certain information, we can aim to prove that the alleged access was accidental and there was no intention of committing a crime.
