UPOTREBA DOKAZA PRIKUPLJENIH DRONOVIMA U KRIMINALISTIČKIM ISTRAŽIVANJIMA

Abstract

Drones have an increasing role in criminal investigation, primarily in conducting investigations, but also in other criminal investigation activities, especially searching the scene after the event is over or monitoring event that is still active. The body conducting the investigation, which is first and foremost the police, must quickly and visibly secure the scene as well as all objects and traces on it. Search, recording and documentation, collection and analysis from the site must be performed without harassment and contamination. The entry of staff into the area carries risk and requires time, staff and complex activities. The seizure of the drone, as well as basic and forensic analysis of the drone and its contents is the basis for gathering evidence. In addition to drones, smartphones play a key role in this process because they are the basis for telephone - drone communication, and can be crucial for determining the status in flight, and lead to all products of drone activity - in the form of photos and videos. All this should shed light on the role of the user or owner of the drone if someone else has misused that communication and taken control over of the drone. Parts of the drone have unique markings and the analysis of physical components is carried out as part of the forensics of physical parts, as well as data generated during the flight that are analyzed as part of digital forensics. All this will enable the drone flight to be shown. On the other hand, adequate development of protection against illegal use of drones as well as investigations related to them implies monitoring and following the trends in this area. What is especially important to point out is that drone operations differ significantly in times of peace, crisis and war. The fight against the misuse of drones includes the use of all available means and methods, as well as the exploitation of all the weaknesses that drones in general and certain types of drones have. First of all, drone deactivation refers to the focus on the drone itself rather than on other components of the system such as remote control, communication and personnel operating the aircraft.
