On the Authenticity of Inspection Materials in the Judicial Appraisal of Electronic Data: Take the Investigation Stage of the Public Security Organs as the Starting Point
In the forensic appraisal of electronic data, authentic samples are the basic condition for ensuring theobjectivity and reliability of appraisal opinions. In the investigation stage, since the electronic data samples aremainly provided by the public security organs, special authenticity verification must be carried out before thesesamples are handed over to the appraisal agency. However, there are certain shortcomings in the current electronicdata inspection system, that is, the relevant regulations are scattered and need to be improved. In addition, theproblem of insufficient ability of investigators to identify the truth has also been exposed in practice, resultingin the distortion of electronic data samples in the investigation stage. In order to solve the above problems, thetriple regulation model of “premise control + process control + result control” can be adopted to comprehensivelyoptimize the authenticity system of electronic data inspection, so as to ensure the authenticity of electronic datasamples and improve the reliability of electronic data appraisal opinions.
