2. As a favor, imagine that you are examining a family member’s computer to recover an important deleted file. During your examination, you find a large cache of hidden folders containing disturbing and illegal images. You and the family member have been very close since childhood. Discuss the moral and ethical issues you might face as a licensed digital forensic investigator working in law enforcement having to deal with this situation. What if the person were a stranger instead of a family member? What would you do then? (2 paragraphs minimum)

3. Discuss whether you believe law enforcement investigates computer crimes with the same degree of zeal and importance as other major crimes.
