That's true, but I still think option B is the best approach for analysis phase.

I bet the person who wrote Option A has never actually done a real forensic investigation before. You can't just sit on your hands until you 'verify' there's no relevant data. That's not how it works.

Haha, Option C is like saying 'look for the truth, but ignore anything that might prove innocence.' Sounds like a recipe for a biased investigation if you ask me.

I agree, option C doesn't make sense. We should consider all evidence, not just what fits our preconceived notions.

Option D is just plain silly. The whole point is to collect and preserve the evidence, not protect it from being seized. What kind of forensic investigator would do that?

But what about option A? Verifying suspect devices first seems important too.

I'm not sure about Option C - shouldn't we be looking for both incriminating and exculpatory evidence? That seems like a key part of a fair investigation.
