This is yet another example of the Police powers being abused a user at the school the I work at was accused of a very similar crime the authorities assured the Administration that the could PROVE who had or had not been accessing the purported material.
Th specialist in internet crimes went to the local machine and pulled a hard drive and scanned it for information using very good software. However this agent was completely clueless. and the search was ridicules because.
1. Our network uses profiles all user data was on the server not on the local machine
2. Even so he did not pull the correct drive there were three hard drives on this particular machine since it was used to do system backups.
3. Just 1 week prior we had discovered that students had gotten hold of staff passwords and were signing on as staff although this had been corrected any data that might have been discovered could not have been proven only a very careful screening of access times and pc's could have shown a probability not a certainty of association.
We live in a new age of the Salem Witch Trials. An accusation is enough to establish guilt.
