Regulations, Policies and Ethics

During an intellectual-property breach investigation at a publishing company in New York City, the executive director consents to examiners inspecting company laptops. Before any device handling starts, another person is present to verify that the authorization was properly executed.

Which responsibility best describes why that person is present?

  • A Provides testimony or attends court if required
  • B Ensures seizure authority based on the investigator’s role
  • C Determines whether one or more witness signatures are required
  • D Confirms the agreement was voluntarily signed by the parties
Explanation

A witness to a consent authorization helps verify that the parties signed the agreement voluntarily. This supports the validity of the consent to examine the devices.
