I need it to defend myself regarding a bogus speeding stop. I have an iWay 250. Thanks, Tom Does anyone know of a forensic service that can read my GPS’s record of the trip since the last reset and create a report covering a couple of days saying where i was and when? I need it to defend myself regarding a bogus speeding stop. I have an iWay 250.

Thanks,
Tom

I would make sure that the enclosure had holes/openings in it, and that I could hear or see that the platters were shattered. Pulverizing them with a hammer.

It was the only safe option. You can try to wipe the drives, but it is really time consuming to do on dozens of drives without any specialized equipment.

Many people think erasing/formatting (resetting, in the case of this GPS) their hard drive makes any trace of them disappear. But it is a little disconcerting considering how many gadgets there are out there with our personal data stores on them... I wonder to what degree this sort of situation is the norm across cellphones, blackberries, iPods, etc. I guess this doesn’t surprise me, considering that the same problem has existed with computers for years.
