Five types of digital evidences that can be found in a cell phone are: Call history, text messages, voice messages, photos or videos, internet history. From an electronic vehicle, GPS system is a great source of evidence, the most powerful evidence is the “black box” of a car (Hall, 2014), Wi-Fi data etc. Also, physical evidences like fingerprints, DNA etc. can be collected from a vehicle. Fitness bands can be great evidences as those can calculate the heart rate and can provide the exact time of death when the deceased person’s heart stopped working. This can be a great evidence to track down the criminal. Also, the fitness trackers can track the footsteps of a person and can provide a reasonable amount of data about that person’s activities.
