Another Photog. Arrest

[JPalmer]

This time in Galveston....check this one out. And no politics knuckleheads.

First Story: Photo Intern Arrested

Followup: Police deleted photos after arrest

Editorial reguarding the situation: Police action disgraceful

Now...a court of law will usually side with the Police on matters of he said/she said if there were no definitive witnesses, so whether or not he tried to get by the cop or whatnot could go either way.

But...the proof that they deleted photos and took a few timestamped after his arrest is clearly tampering with evidence is it not?

he should get one of those file recovery programs to get the missing photos

Assuming the new didn't overwrite the old.

At least this guy has the power of the paper behind him.

Who was it who said a long time ago ??

The pen is mightier than the sword !

They should get CSI Miami on the case. They could recover the files even if the computer exploded.

I have recovered photos from my memory cards that I thought should have been wiped clean and long gone.

I just about filled the card up, transferred to the the PC, formatted in camera to delete all photos, almost fill card up 3 or 4 times after that. then shot some photos, "thought" I had them on the PC, but did not, so I used one of those utility programs and it recovered just about every photo I had taken and deleted form the card from the last 4 times I formatted
it.

The newspaper has turned the card over to a company to recover the files. Should be interesting to see what the cops wanted erased.

Do you recall the utility you used?

I hope they are able to recover the photos so we can see what was deleted.

While we at the same recovery topics

There are severals recovery sw out there that capable to retrieve formatted media but it depend on it's a regular image file (jpeg..etc) or Raw.

On my very last day at the Bosque, i formatted a 2Gb card with raw images which i thought i have already have them copied to external drive. Well, i didn't. The very same card was overwritten about 100 raw images the next week. I tried every possible solution out there and was able to recover partial raw images.

All of them can read some jpeg images back in the old days but Raw images is another story. One that specialize with camera raw can read raw files only if the formatted media that hasn't not been written the 2nd times, the rest of the typical recovery SW just report Raw files found but it;'s all corrupted. Because they can't assemble the header files correctly.

my experience was, If there media been formatted; you can the raw files back if new allocation hasn't been written. For the case of this photographer, he should able to get everything back from where i read. They only delete certain files, not even formatted or rewritten the card.

The free version is as good as paid version, they both got the same thing back, same speed and same amount of data.

For canon user, free raw files recovery worked as good as paid sw. Raw File will be retrieved in tiff format
