All Right, I don't know anything about Cell phones.
I saw on a TV Crime show where the local hoods automatically erase their call log after each call and that they use stolen phones or pre-paid phones registered to someone else.
The Judge telegraphed that this phone was registered to a third party and not the AVs: Judge Stephens cited privacy concerns.
If the call log was erased by habit, is it still retrievable? Even if there are other methods of getting records unrelated to the phone, the Defense seems to want data from the phone itself. Does anyone know if after the call logs have been erased, can be they be retrieved from the phone?
Someone said if it was a Tracfone no. But if it is a normal phone yes. Some bloggers paid to get a hold of Wesley Clark's phone records. I think the defense already knows who she called and when. They are just waiting for the DA to turn it over to them so they don't have to say they paid for the records.
