A new mobile phone faraday bag called the ‘Phone-Shield’, launched today by Tamworth-based Disklabs, is set to increase the ability of the police to successfully and cost-effectively prosecute in cases where mobile phone data comprises an essential element of evidence.

Not having the mobile phone switched on safeguards against network interference and ‘tainting’ but it also means that critical time and date stamps cannot be verified, leading to evidence captured being questioned in court. However, the ‘Faraday’ window on the Phone-Shield allows the police examiner to view the phone in a ‘Faraday’ condition, thus enabling an ‘immediate preview of evidence’.
