Tampa Criminal Attorney
Computer Crimes Defense Lawyer in Tampa, FL
Whether being used in a traditional crime, like extortion, or a modern crime, like phishing scams, computers have given criminals a lot of new methods to perpetrate illicit acts. Unfortunately, our government is not at a level to fully understand, investigate and predict these crimes before they occur, so many computer crimes involve incorrect accusations and illegal search and seizure methods. It is critical to always have a skilled Tampa computer crimes attorney when facing these charges or you risk losing your constitutional rights and your freedom.
Computers are used three different ways in crimes. They can either serve as the victim, the tool or the evidence. As the victim, a computer is targeted by being hacked or by having a dangerous worm installed that destroys the hard drive. As the tool of the crime, the computer is used in an illegal way, for example, music pirating. As mere evidence for the crime, the computer holds files that may be used in court, e.g. child pornography. At our firm, we have defended clients accused of all number of computer crimes. Our crime defense in Tampa, Florida has fought charges of:
- Child pornography possession or distribution
- Copyright violations
- Distributing computer viruses
- Email fraud
- Hacking
- Identity theft
- Sexual solicitation of a minor
- And more…
It takes a skilled Tampa criminal lawyer to help defend a client from computer crime accusations. These crimes are highly complex and investigators and attorneys need to fully understand the laws regarding computer search and seizure as well as the finite details allowing a person to be linked to these somewhat anonymous crimes. The prosecution must be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were the person using the computer at the time the crime was committed and your Tampa criminal attorney must be able to understand if the evidence leaves any room for doubt.
