If you have a court order restraining another person from contacting you that would include them calling your cell phone. However the cellular service providers can make it nearly impossible to obtain copies of your cell phone call logs before you have your court appearance. In some cases they can take up to 90 days after they have been served until the custodian of records will return a copy of your telephone billing records. most TPO hearings are held 30 days from the time the defendant is served.
However you can obtain the cellular call logs off of the internal memory of your cell phone. The phones memory and or SIM card will store the incoming and out going phone numbers as well as the times, dates and call duration. Unfortunately you cannot submit the phone itself as an exhibit in court. You will need a printed report to attach to your motion. This report can be obtained if you hire a private investigator to do a forensic examination of your cell phone. If needed the forensic examiner can also appear in court as a witness and testify to the findings found in the report.
Not only can a forensic cell phone examination create a detailed report of incoming and outgoing call logs it can also document all text and SMS messages that are on the phone. As well and pics, images, apps, caller ID and other data.
These experts in forensic data recovery can even recover information that has been deleted or erased from the phone. Deleted text messages, erased SMS messages, deleted pics and videos can all be recovered and retrieved from the internal memory of the device. This information is then reduced to a report that can be submitted as evidence in your TRO hearing.
The accuracy of cell phone forensics is recognized by the courts and not only can these reports be used to obtain a conviction but they can also be used to prove a defendants innocence if the corresponding outgoing calls are not present or recoverable from the defendants cell phone. Likewise the content of the text messages in question can be recovered and read by the judge to see if the communication is actually threatening or harassing or not.
So if you have a court hearing approaching that involves a TPO or restraining order violation and the case involves cell phone or text communication in any way you should consult with a private investigator that specialized in cell phone forensics so that you caan obtain all of the evidence possible to litigate your case. This evidence can either prove a TRO violation or demonstrate a reasonable doubt.
