Police investigators are increasingly taking advantage of a new class of forensics technology known as digital vehicle forensics. When police have access, they will suck up an inordinate amount of information from your automobile\u2019s onboard computers. In one case where a dead victim was found in his abandoned vehicle, investigators were able to dig out of the vehicle\u2019s computers a voice recording of the murder suspect using hands free controls to tell the victim\u2019s car to play an Eminem song after the determined time of death.<\/p>\n

Car data can reveal just as much about you as smart phone data<\/h2>\n

Most people don\u2019t think that there\u2019s a recording of every voice command they\u2019ve ever given; but it\u2019s true even with your Google Home or Amazon Alexa devices<\/a>. The same way that a smart phone\u2019s location data and gyroscope data can be used to infer certain things about the phone holder\u2019s location and actions, many people aren\u2019t aware that similar information is stored in a black box within your car. What\u2019s worse, this data isn\u2019t necessarily as protected as it may be when it lives on your phone<\/a>. This is because there are looser privacy standards for vehicle data.<\/p>\n

Andrea Amico, founder of an app that helps maintain user privacy when using rental cars called Privacy4Cars, told NBC<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI hear a lot of analogies of cars being smartphones on wheels. But that\u2019s vastly reductive. If you think about the amount of sensors in a car, the smartphone is a toy. A car has GPS, an accelerometer, a camera. A car will know how much you weigh. Most people don\u2019t realize this is happening.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even just connecting your phone to a car might leak more private information than you want. Lam Nguyen, Director of the Defense Cyber Crime Center, told NBC:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure everyone is aware of how much forensic data is on the phone. What people don\u2019t realize is a lot of that is being transmitted to a car just because you register the phone with the car.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lam continued:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019ve committed some heinous crime and we can\u2019t get into your phone, we can get peripheral data that has been synced to your car. The contact list, calls made, text messages. In almost any criminal investigation, communication with the victim or co-conspirators is hugely important. Taking that with the telematics you get \u2014 how many people were in the car, how many doors opened \u2014 and it all paints a strong picture.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The same way that law enforcement uses third party tools like Cellebrite to bulk download information from phones both locked and unlocked, law enforcement rely on a third party tool from Maryland based Berla Corp for digital vehicle forensics. Berla Corp\u2019s founder Ben LeMere defended his company\u2019s work to NBC:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt helps convict people, and it can help prove they are innocent. Children\u2019s bodies have been found. Families have had closure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
