Preservation Notice Likelihood Explained
Summary
In cases involving seized devices and emails, a preservation notice is typically sent when there is strong evidence linking the email or device to a crime. Simply having an email on a device is generally insufficient for such a notice. The likelihood of a preservation notice being sent without direct evidence is low, possibly less than 20%. Police understaffing and underfunding may delay investigations but do not affect the legal thresholds for sending a preservation notice. Its crucial to maintain communication with your solicitor for specific guidance and to address any concerns about the investigation process.Full Conversation
