The article’s author observes, “The decision to allow data from implanted medical devices to be used in
criminal proceedings may affect whether patients are willing to even use such devices” (Jackson, 2017).
Consider the implications of this and discuss the following:
- What types of evidence should be allowable for capture and analysis?
- Who should perform that capture and analysis? For example, if it is medical equipment evidence,
should it be a doctor, technician, or forensic examiner? - Does the type or severity of the crime (such as misdemeanor versus felony, crime against an entity
versus a person, or crime against a child versus an adult) make a difference?
