Default Can deleted BBM messages be tracked by the COPS?

Please Login to Remove!

I was wondering if BBM chats that were deleted could be tracked by the cops. And I also heard there's like a PIN message you can send that can never ever be tracked how do you do that?

Thanks.

Octavio.

Ya gotta wonder why someone would be so paranoid about the police seizing the device / records.

Crime is bad! Just say NO..

You can use this list to find your area office, call them as they should be able to help....

DEA, Contact Us

If you on BES, the logging is configured on the BES Server can be enable or disabled from the BES Server. You have no control of that, since your IT Department controls the IT Policy.

To add to the paronia, all emails and all text messages regardless of the type including BBM pin messages are stored by the carriers. Any email or text, once it leaves the PC or cell phone is considered public and can be gotten by various organizations. Did you ever wonder how wickileaks gets info. Also the US has started Archiving all messages for future release by the Library of Congress. I'm sure other governments will also at some point. Remember it hits the public airwaves or internet and is considered public domain information. generally the authorities simply get a court release to get recent emails or text messages. It does to protect the carriers not the users.

By BBM? In otherwords, simply by having a BBM convo with them?

Well, I guess I shouldn't say "you", but law enforcement can. A BBM message is comprised of packets, which can be sniffed out and decrypted by the three-letter agencies, and the messages can also be requested from RIM with a warrant.

Tracking a person's movement doesn't even require them to send a message though because as soon as the device attaches to a mobile network it can be triangulated by both the cellular signal as well as the IP address that the device receives. Sending messages just makes the IP triangulation easier.
