Security to "help" protect evidence

"...Security: To help protect evidence from being altered, or accessed by unauthorized people..." - from a recent press release about Evidence.com.

"...help protect..."

Not "...protect...", but "help" protect.

Any criminal charge against anyone with a good lawyer could result in questions about chain of custody of the evidence. Sent back and forth over the Internet. Stored in some undergroud lair buried under a dormant volcano. Big sign on the wall, "Just Trust Us". Defence lawyers are going to have a field day with this.

There's gonna be a lot of frequent flyer miles earned as Company staff attend trials all over North America (in their dreams), and spend the next twenty years trying to have their stupid 'Whitepaper on Internet Security' accepted. This will be the brochure that describes the system features that "help" to prevent evidence from being altered.

You can see this train wreck coming. Judge will ask why the only original copy of the video evidence was sent to some off-site location, and then retrieved over '...the Interweb thingy."
