[citation][nom]jellico[/nom]No, they wouldn't. The job of the police and the DA's office is to collect evidence of a crime and prosecute it, not to actually discover the truth. If you want that, you have to spend huge amounts of your own money and hope the jury believes your expert. In these cases, however, most people on the jury are ready to castrate you without a trial. Think about all of the people that you see in the news that are arrested for possession of child porn. Now, how many of those are innocent people whose computer's were infected with malware and used as a server without their knowledge. Police and DA's are afraid of that becoming a common defense, so they downplay the likelihood of that happening and claim that they can rule that out definitely. But most of us on TH know better. Some of that malware is EXTREMELY sophisticated and easily capable of defeating AV software and going completely undetected.[/citation]
