24 Hours in Police Custody

[Pickman's model]

Interesting. This is a new computer. A friend of mine transferred a load of files from the old one. Will this computer have the browsing history of the last one?

let's hope not, eh

 

[Spymaster]

Quite

I think it’s on the hard drive only. Just sticking a bunch of files on a usb and putting them on a new pc won’t have the footprints of deleted stuff. When the forensics cops do their thing they will list accessible and inaccessible files, which includes any fragments of deleted stuff that’s not been over written.

Edit: but if you mean internet browsing and you also log in to your browser eg chrome then yes - you can access your browsing history.

 

[moomoo]

Yes.

Fab. Thanks.

 

[iamwithnail]

^^ yeah, that.

It really annoys me when they let you know the outcome by putting text on the screen, means I actually have to pay attention.

I've got repeat form for changing the volume just when they put the text up. You can hear my aaaaaargh halfway down the street, I end up having to google the result

The blackmail episode was a curve ball. What a life that prostitute has, camper van sex with punters in car parks while her partner/business partner/husband sits in the front. Did they get a release form explained to them?

The sad thing is the coppers colleagues thought very well of him professionally and he cracks on and makes every mistake in the book.

I'm not keen on senior coppers challenging sentences on a principal/organisational embarrassment, I'd like to think that the legal system have "got this" within the sentencing tariff system

I might get shot down but he tried to extort a grand off some bloke, in a fairly inefficient manner, he didn't use any violence, fairly pathetic and his victim a family man was using a prostitute in a camper van in a car park

ETA, sentencing research..

There are no Sentencing Council guidelines for blackmail. The offence is fact-specific and the sentence must be arrived at after identifying the pertinent aggravating and mitigating factors (see R v Ferguson [2017] EWCA Crim 356).

You forget he was also done for misconduct in a public office, relating to the computer search. That alone can get you life. Blackmail can get 14 years. It is exceedingly rare for the police to oppose a sentence, but in a small way they were one of the victims of this case, so they did have a vested interest in getting a worthwhile result.

Hard drive evidence is accessible in two ways - general cached stuff that your browser stores when you browse in normal mode - all the images, videos, streams etc - that's all just there (and very easy to link to IP addresses/etc.), unless you delete it or browse in private mode. If you're browsing in private mode, you should also use a VPN, Tor, or both. (Using a VPN and then connecting to TOR hides the fact that you're connecting to Tor bridges in the first place. Likely be super slow, though.)

Secondly, what happens when you delete stuff normally is that the computer deletes the reference to the stuff. How and where depends on the system, but largely, that's the fastest way to delete stuff from a filesystem - forget it exists. It doesn't automatically actually delete it until the computer happens to overwrite it with new data. You can use secure delete (which overwrites the data on purpose, a varying number of times depending on how secure/slow you want to be) and also 'free space deletion', which overwrites the bits of your drive that aren't actively being used, in the same way, with junk data.

Now, if you have a magnetic drive, rather than a new fangled Solid State Drive, then storing data on the drive leaves a magnetic imprint, even if it's been overwritten by the normal course of use - sort of like seeing the marks from a page above further down in a notepad. The more you overwrite, the less likely that is.

Eta: Also, most people are horrified to see what their browser gives away about them, to every single page that asks.

Forensic data recovery is pretty expensive, and if you’ve written over it they’ve got no chance.

Eg cipher /w:c on a windows box will wipe all free space.

I liked the way they shown him interviewing a blackmailer 18 months previously.
When he was arrested him they called him Pc ..... yet one of his colleagues said he was a great detective?
Had he already been demoted or am I being a bit thick?

Detective isn’t a rank, it just means he’s in the CID as opposed to a uniformed plod. Strictly speaking he’d have been a DC.

Cheers. Bit thick confirmed

[Part 2]

Heads up...new episode on now. Looks like an interesting one.

I am jumping up and down watching this

 

[Part 2]

He's unreal!

 

[Supine]

Guilty!! Burn him

 

[bellaozzydog]

I wasn't keen on the "mental health assessor"

 

[skyscraper101]

Never seen this before. Watching now. Quite engaging.

 

[Supine]

Guilty!! Burn him

Put the fire out! Oops.

 

[bellaozzydog]

The lower level coppers all seem very unsophisticated and super prejudiced


No surprise there really

They'd still see him strung up for it for the result because he is "wierd"

 

[cyril_smear]

Guilty!! Burn him

Trial by heavily edited TV show?

 

[Supine]

Trial by heavily edited TV show?

That's why we enjoy it

 

[cyril_smear]

Why was this episode given 90 minutes instead of the usual 60?

 

[ddraig]

Why was this episode given 90 minutes instead of the usual 60?

because it was 36hrs in police custody??

 

[cyril_smear]

because it was 36hrs in police custody??

Touche; well done.

I've had one of those twelve hour extensions while going through full on DT's. Horrible!!

 

[Mumbles274]

Just watched on +1.. Sad story. Felt pretty early on he wasnt involved, there just wasnt any forensic evidence case being shown. I dont know if his actions really helped her before she died, but it certainly wasnt done from any ill intent.

 

[moomoo]

Oooh! I didn’t know this was back!

 

[5t3IIa]

What an odd-bod, with the doctor stuff and the spreadsheets but the outcome was horrific. Can you imagine doing it yourself like that??

 

[moomoo]

Where can I find it on catch up?

 

[ddraig]

Where can I find it on catch up?

All 4 i imagine
