Text messages are everywhere in our daily lives. They’ve become a primary way we communicate, so it’s no surprise they often show up as evidence in legal cases, from business disputes to family law. But here’s the catch: simply taking a screenshot of a text message isn’t always enough to use it as reliable evidence in court. In fact, relying on screenshots alone can be risky, because they’re surprisingly easy to fake.
In these situations, attorneys may conduct or delegate an investigator or associate to perform a manual examination, capturing pictures of the relevant messages. Although not as thorough as forensic acquisition, a well-documented manual examination can still provide reliable evidence.
