  1. 1. If you've provided IT-evidence to the police, did they:

    • Appear to completely ignore it / do nothing with it
      2
    • Use it to get a conviction / make a court case
      2
    • Look confused and faintly worried by this IT malarky and shuffle their feet
      1
    • Drop the case due to insufficient evidence
      0
    • Never actually turn up

"We have got 140,000 cops and most of them don't know one end of the computer from the other," -- Detective Superintendent Charlie McMurdie, who will head the Police Central e-crime Unit (PCeU) - from El Reg: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/03/10/parliament_malware/

 

I've provided computer-related evidence/testimony to the police here about five times for various things that have been done by or to our students. The cases were open and shut - it was clear what had happened and where the blame lay.

 

But somehow during the evidence -> police brains > "yay, easy conviction" > court > justice interchange, nothing was done.
