If the only requirement for you to become a Computer Forensic person is to be a Private Investigator, why would you ever take a certification again?

I was the one of the first experts to be challenged on the new Private Investigator laws while on the stand testify in a criminal case in 2006. This is the bill that actually passed in 2006 a week before I took the stand and was challenged by state prosecution.

It simply states that doing any kind of ‘digital investigation’ without a PI license is a felony. This is a talk about the struggles of becoming a PI and what the laws are for computer forensics going forward.
