«Technologically competent» also requires knowledge of the electronic technology that now produces most of the evidence, and very frequently
used types of evidence; for example, these kinds of evidence: (1) records are now the most frequently
used kind of evidence but most often come from very complex electronic records management systems; (2)
mobile phone tracking evidence because we all carry
mobile phones; (3) breathalyzer device readings because they are the basis of more than 95 % of
impaired driving cases; and, (4) expert opinion evidence that depends upon data produced by electronic systems and devices.
Other examples are, (2)
mobile phone communications
used to track people's locations by
use of their
phones; and (3) the performance of breathalyzer / intoxilyzer devices, which are critically important evidence in more than 95 % of
impaired driving and «over 80» prosecutions.
