The police want to destroy the seized iPad, because it can not remove from it a prohibited photo

A Reddit user said the police seized his iPad after an illegal image was sent to the device. Although all charges against a person were dropped, they do not return the gadget and are going to destroy it - simply because they cannot remove this picture from it.

User TPB_DragonKoi does not disclose all the details of what happened. It is only known that the police are planning to destroy the iPad, for some reason not being able to remove an image from it.



On the one hand, the charges with the tablet owner have been dropped - nothing threatens him from law enforcement. On the other hand, there may be important information on the tablet that is difficult to estimate from a financial point of view: family photos and videos and other data.

In any case, the data is unlikely to be saved. You can ask the police to return the tablet to the factory settings in order to save the device itself.



TPB_DragonKoi asks for free legal advice on Reddit. One of the users gives two at once: hire a lawyer and not ask legal advice on Reddit.



It is worth noting that this is happening in the UK. In this country, in order for someone to have problems with the law, it is enough to send something forbidden to the victim’s personal device - to a computer, laptop or smartphone. The police can check the contents of the devices at any time. Forbidden materials including “porn with a tiger” . And you can send this with WhatsApp.
