The Forensic Science Regulator has warned in its annual report that criminal defenders commissioning forensic science reports based on price may not be receiving high quality advice due to low legal aid rates.  The report states: ‘The current legal aid rates for experts makes establishing a sustainable and accredited business offering high-quality scientific advice to the defence extremely challenging.’

‘This risks giving a competitive advantage to those who have not prioritised quality, with consequent risks to the criminal justice system.’

Not surprising and something the cell site experts have been discussing for a long time. It is particularly apparent in an area of forensics such as cell site analysis. This is because it is currently one of the few unregulated areas of digital forensics. Effectively this means that anyone can claim to be a cell site expert. Believe it or not, this is very often the case. A number companies are offering the service of cell site analysis and then using member of staff who is qualified to conduct computer or mobile phone forensics. It is our opinion that a cell site expert should have experience of working in the planning and optimisation of a mobile phone network.
