In the handset examination field, Sam Raincock Consultancy specialises in providing interpretations data stored on mobile telephones and combining this evidence with connection record evaluations.  SRC is also able to provide opinions in cases where SIM card cloning or telephone hacking are alleged. Handset Examinations  SRC can provide handset examinations including deleted information extractions in legal cases.  This can be performed in combination with connection charting and/or cell site analysis meaning that your case will only require one expert.  In cases requiring the examination of handsets, it is important to stop using the device(s).  Any use of the telephone/memory card may cause data to be deleted either accidently or automatically by the telephone as well as the deleted data (where still present) to be overwritten, hence, destroying the evidence.

Testing the Functionality of Handsets

SRC specialises in providing expert opinions about data stored on mobile telephones assisting you in determining how the data came to reside on the device.  This may involve bespoke experimentation with devices to determine how they function in certain sitations.

For example, this may include cases where an image has been identified in a particular location on a handset where it is necessary to determine the possibilities of how and when the file was stored.  This could be used to address questions including if an image may have been captured on the phone or transferred to the telephone, if it may have been downloaded via a web browser, and if the date and time stamps are accurate.
