I have a friend who's brother was charged with possesion of stolen property. He apparently let her use a computer that was stolen from a computer store. Now what he did was wrong and believe he should answer for that, but.....while the computer was in her possesion she had stored (not knowing the computer was stolen) many files and pictures to that computer. My question is even though the computer was stolen property....wouldnt the information on the computer still belong to her? The computer was taken and not reformated to erase any stored info so the police department where the computer is can view personal and private information on the computer that in my opinion still legally belongs to her. am I right here? Did the police invade her privacy by not allowing her to back up the info or erase it before removing the computer from her house? Somehow I dont think this right. There is alot of personal info on the computer that belongs to her including passwords to her email and login names and passwords that can be recovered from the hard drive by an experianced computer user? I would like and answer to this question? Does she have a case? Thanks!
