This article focuses on the problems faced by digital evidence in U.S. law. As there are no specific regulations for this type of evidence, judges have applied norms contemplated for physical evidence. Although this has resulted useful in many cases, more than one problem has arisen and been criticized by U.S. doctrine. From this perspective, it is important to bear in mind that not all the rules and procedures contemplated for physical evidence can readily be applied to the confiscation of a piece of digital evidence.
