Criminal Defense in Phoenix

Computer Crimes

Computer crimes are still relatively new phenomena that have not yet been fully explored or properly addressed by our legal system. Still, most questionable activities that take place on computers are outlawed by other criminal statutes and can be prosecuted. The problem lies in the investigation process for these types of crimes, as discovering who is actually responsible without violating search and seizure laws is very difficult for investigators. Because it is so difficult for police to discover the true criminal responsible in these crimes without violating critical civil rights, it is imminent that anyone accused of a computer crime immediately speak with a Phoenix criminal attorney with experience in these types of cases.

There are an infinite number of crimes that can take place on the internet or computers. Because there are so many illegal acts that can be labeled as “computer crimes,” it is impossible to discuss specific penalties someone accused of these crimes may face without actually knowing the individual’s circumstances. If you have any questions about the charges you are facing, please contact your Phoenix criminal lawyer to discuss the accusations against you. Some of the most common computer crimes include:

If you have been accused of a computer crime, it is critical you work with a Phoenix criminal lawyer who will immediate conduct a complete investigation of the crime and the evidence against you. Your attorney should be able to identify if any of your rights were violated during the evidence collection process, and if so, he should have that evidence suppressed in court. Additionally, your legal representative should be able to ensure that the evidence undeniably points to you. Even if the crime can be traced to your computer, the prosecution must be able to prove that you were the person using the computer at the time the crime occurred.

If you have been accused of a computer crime, please call Alcock & Associates and schedule a consultation to discuss your case with a skilled Phoenix criminal attorney.
