Not sure where to post as the legal topic seems bit empty! txt msg as evidence?

grrrrrr I mean horses of course....

biker sorry cant help, but I think I have heard of using text messages as evidence by Police, but someone here may be able to offer some help.

This may not help legally ...but we were able to "prove" bullying in school from text messages ...because the mobile number gets displayed as well... ...which meant we could identify the sender.

hi all..yes a bit of a "grey" area this according to the police..
jacey it is sad when dealing with bullies. txt messaging has a lot to answer for!........... bullying in any form at any age is a horrible thing to deal with.... thanks for replies girls... off to bed..now....goodnight.

I will ask the detective in the family when I next speak to him, maybe tomorrow.

The only problem with this is proving the owner of the phone was the person who sent the text message,so many people leave their phone's available for other people's use,it could be a reason for the evidence to become unsafe.

thanks all...will see how thinsg go this week,,,,,,bfn.

Text messages can certainly be used as evidence in harrassment, bullying and domestic abuse cases. Recently, there was a report in a national newspaper that something said in a text or email contradicted evidence given in court leading to a conviction, so this is being investigated by police.
