Telecommunication
Increasing use of cellphone data in crime-solving |
| |
With the widespread use of mobile phone technology, the analysis of cellular phone call and short messaging service (SMS) data has become a significant component of police investigation procedures and constitutes an expansion of the traditional methods of cracking cases, Dawn has learnt.
While the old practice of detaining and/or torturing a suspect or members of his family remains part and parcel of police investigation techniques, the analysis of call and SMS details saves time and may provide the missing links in criminal cases, remarked an investigator.
