What to do with Evidence on a Computer

Have evidence on your computer? Stop doing anything on the computer and immediately call someone official who will know how to document it. You can start by talking to your lawyer about what the evidence is and if they have a suggestion of what to do with it. 

Or you could also call a computer investigator. Like a Forensic Computer Specialist. 

Your situation is entirely unique to you and I can not and would not give advice. This is just my personal experience.

I had evidence on my computer that was very important to my case. I called someone who investigates computers, they came and got the computer and then searched it. Afterwards they gave me a report of what they found and they sealed up my computer. 

Why would they seal it up? To show that no one had touched it since the investigator. 

This was super annoying. And I was not thrilled to suddenly have my computer non-usable. But, hey, that's evidence.

The specialist also said that he could make a copy of anything I needed on the computer. He had the ability to copy the whole hard drive if needed. 

But I was told that evidence is more usable if you can limit the number of people who's custody it has been in. If you can track and limit who had access to the evidence it will help. If you can prove that they evidence has not been accessed, all the better.
