People often present a different, even misleading lifestyle on their social media. These discrepancies can be found, documented, and used to support your case.
Do you use and enjoy a social media platform?
Do you have an active account on LinkedIn, Facebook, X or TikTok?
Millions of people spend a minimum of 2 hours a day on these social media platforms; and many others. What people often don’t realize is that this activity creates a traceable digital path, or ‘fingerprint’ for each person. Individuals’ digital information, and behavior, is growing each day that these social feeds are fed new content, conversations, images, videos - sharing more information and data with every click. This social behavior, and the information being saved is readily available, and can be very helpful in resolving cases.
Inter-Facts’ Social Media Investigations offer a precise look into the social media activity, behavior and statements of a particular client or claimant, creating a more complete picture for your case.
With Inter-Facts, you can capture this data and encrypt it, so that it cannot be altered after it is captured, which makes this evidence admissible and defendable in court.
Inter-Facts’ Social Media Tools take the process of searching, capturing, and preserving digital evidence and provide a cost-effective, legally defensible report that is flexible for your needs. We go beyond just an initial search and hard-copy deliverable - we provide you with a thorough summary of all discovered and captured social media accounts, their contents, and corresponding web links. And Inter-Facts can also provide an in-depth review of the content which will leverage the findings as related to your case.
What we search for will depend on the investigation. For some court cases, like crimes against minors, alerts are set for specific search terms, and the type of person our target is interacting with. For a domestic investigation, we can search for suggestions of infidelity, or check physical location to confirm if stated locations are true in a given timeframe. A case involving possible drug use dictates searching for posts and images that point to potential drug involvement. And in a custody case, the target’s social behavior online can confirm who the individual is associating with.
Insurance companies can leverage social media to confirm if a claimant is indeed injured or sick as their claim has stated. You would be surprised what people will post about themselves in any given random moment. This information can be captured and encrypted to be shared in court.
In summary, Inter-Fact’s Social Media Reports are used during court cases to provide information to establish character, support and supplement evidence, or in support of or disqualification of alibis. Social media is increasingly being applied in divorces, custody cases, and even criminal trials. You may also consider a social media review as part of a background check or risk assessment.
Marshalling someone’s social media is equivalent to using their own words and pictures against them, or, in support of their position.
