San Diego Internet Crime Lawyer

What is an internet crime?

An internet crime is a criminal offense that is committed through the use of a computer and through the use of the internet.  With technology in a constant state of evolution and the emergence of social media, more and more people are sharing their personal information online.  While sharing information seems innocuous to many, the reality is that it can be extremely harmful if the wrong people obtain personal details, like social security numbers or credit card numbers.  Once people have this information, they can engage in illegal online activities, like credit card fraud or even mass spamming.

With the increase in internet crimes, the amount of law enforcement surveillance has elevated significantly.  Now, anytime law enforcement suspects that people are committing serious internet crimes, they quickly launch investigations, which may lead to officers confiscating computers and hard drives.  It may also lead to officers conducting unlawful search and seizure, which is surprisingly common.
