Last week an every-day matter such as a Facebook status turned into something more: a rock-solid alibi. It happened to a 19-year-old Newyorker, who has been identified by a robbery witness during a police line-up.
After a couple of weeks in jail, his attorney submitted his computer’s activity record to the court. His Facebook status was updated from his 12-miles-away home computer just one minute after the crime was committed.
The case of course raised both eyebrows and approvals. The important aspect we want to focus on is the increasing credibility on-line records are gaining even on the legal side. If something like a status update on a social network can get you out of jail, we believe that on-line digital document storage is getting closer and closer to becoming tomorrows one and only document storage solution.
If you think about it, the judge ruled the Facebook records as more reliable compared to an eyewitness deposition. So why should an on-line stored will, for instance, be less valid than a regular one. Nothing can be more precise and trackable than a computer record, leaving little chance a fraud is taking place.
At Swiss DNA Bank we believe firmly in the value of the data you store securely and forever in our nuclear shelter. The extra assurance that comes from the DNA sample storage makes it impossible to fake one’s identity.
We believe we were actually able to set the most effective and safe data storage and the the strongest link between the information and its owner.
