Confidentiality, Use Limits and Getting Evidence Home in Usable Form

Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.

The other country agrees to help. Months later a file arrives. Three things can still go wrong. The suspect may have been told of the request. You may use the material for a purpose that the other country did not allow. Or your court may refuse it, because nobody can say where the records came from.

Focus: all three are settled when you write the request, not when the reply arrives.

Learning objectives

  • Ask for confidentiality, with reasons and a time limit.
  • Explain the use limit, and what to do before you use material for a new purpose.
  • Ask, in the request, for the record that your court needs from the record holder.
  • Keep a chain of custody that crosses a border.
  • Check what arrives against what you asked for.
