A computer can be a source of evidence.
Even where a computer is not directly used for criminal purposes, it
may contain records of value to criminal investigators in the form of a logfile. In most countries Internet Service Providers are required, by law, to keep their logfiles for a predetermined amount of time. For example; a European wide directive[26] (applicable to all EU member states) states that all E-mail traffic should be retained for a minimum of 12 months.
Penalties for computer related crimes in New York State can range from a fine and a short period of jail time for a Class A misdemeanor such as unauthorized use of a computer up to computer tampering in the first degree which is a Class C felony and can carry 3 to 15 years in prison.[27]
