We are not lawyers but this affects what we do and we now know more. Our forensics systems already meet these guidelines. We have talked about it before, the simple print screen of a web site, or social media post is not going to meet authentication levels and not self-authenticating unless the person doing it has certification as an expert. Our E-discovery and social media preservation system can capture any social media post or a web site and it will meet the guidelines to become self-authenticating and full admissible in court without expert testimony and with an authenticating statement. Call and ask us if we can capture Electronic evidence for your particular case.
Our E-Discovery platform also will capture and authenticate emails directly from the service provider.
*please note this is a new Federal rule of Evidence, each particular state will be heading in this direction, but in their own time frame.
For example:
Moent v. Bank of America, N.A 2015 WL 1775219 at *8 (Cal Ct. App. Apr. 16, 2015) – Facebook print screen image disallowed due to lack of authentication
