Came across an interesting article today. A judge in the U.S has ruled that it is unlawful to run hash analysis on a suspects computer without an additional warrent. The Drive was imaged using EnCase and hashed from a completely seperate hard drive, leaving the original intact.
The full story can be read at the registry.
It worries me that Judges are making it so difficult for law enforcement agencies to do their jobs, it also worries me that this could happen here, and probably already has.

Interesting article, it presents a balanced view of both sides. Technology is always changing and the law needs to change in order to keep up with it, lets hope there will be a legislation that will make things easier in the future.
