US Case: Daubert and Cell Site Analysis Maps

US Case: Daubert and Cell Site Analysis Maps

I having been an advocate, as many of you know, for many years for the use in evidence of network operator generated analogue and digital cellular radio maps (eg best server plots/density maps & single cell prediction plots/density maps). That is because they are a composite compiled from collection of visible and discrete detail relevant to the operator's predication. They illustrate, if you will, a visual demonstration of a radio coverage strategy in an area. A recent US Case dealt with cell site maps as part of the evidence. The case of the US v Benford discussed by Law Professor Susan Brenner, at her webblog, makes interesting reading indeed:

There are examples of cell site maps here at Mobile Telephone Evidence (link below):
