We dive deep into the UK's ACPO Guideline and shed light on the crucial topic of handling electronic evidence.

ACPO Principle 1: No action taken by law enforcement agencies or their agents should change data held on a computer or storage media which may subsequently be relied upon in court.
ACPO Principle 2: In circumstances where a person finds it necessary to access original data held on a computer or on storage media, that person must be competent to do so and be able to give evidence explaining the relevance and the implications of their actions.
ACPO Principle 3: An audit trail or other record of all processes applied to computer-based electronic evidence should be created and preserved. An independent third party should be able to examine those processes and achieve the same result.
ACPO Principle 4: The person in charge of the investigation (the case officer) has overall responsibility for ensuring that the law and these principles are adhered to.

Or… the shorthand version!

Change nothing
If you have to risk changing something know what you're doing
Document everything
There is someone to blame
