The following current legal case involves data collected by Australian law enforcement using Cellebrite:
Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann is facing two charges of rape. (AAP: Jono Searle)
A rape case involving former Liberal Party staffer Bruce Lehrmann has heard claims about "the possible destruction" of a police hard drive containing evidence relating to the case.
The claim by Mr Lehrmann's defence counsel, Zali Burrows, was made during a mention of the matter in the Toowoomba District Court today.
"We have received information, which was contained in one of the redacted police notebooks, which raises the possible destruction of exculpatory material, which is basically a hard drive that the police officer in charge placed all the material and evidence on and that subsequently has been damaged and we have made a request for that to be made available for an independent IT interrogation," Ms Burrows told the court.
She said the defence wanted the police officer to appear at court later this week for cross-examination.
Mr Lehrmann faces two counts of rape, alleged to have occurred in Toowoomba in October 2021.
The 30-year-old has been committed for trial on the matter but has not yet been required to enter a formal plea.
A pre-trial hearing of the case is due to be held on Friday.
Today's hearing came after Mr Lehrmann's lawyer recently lodged an application for a permanent stay of the case against her client.
The court today heard that Mr Lehrmann's defence is seeking full disclosure of the cellebrite forensic download report of the complainant's mobile telephone, in an unredacted form.
The defence is also seeking unredacted versions of three police notebooks in relation to the case — two notebooks of the investigating officer, Detective Senior Constable Ashlee Ryder, and one notebook of an unknown police officer.
The two issues — of the mobile phone report and the police notebooks — will be heard at Friday's hearing.
Judge Benedict Power also questioned Ms Burrows about an application she had made last week for the complainant in the matter to be subpoenaed to testify later this week.
Ms Burrows said it related only to the complainant's communication with investigating police.
But Judge Power pointed out there were restrictions in relation to cross-examination of complainants in sexual assault cases.
"On what basis did you think you could simply, without reference to the court, require the complainant to come and give evidence?" Judge Power asked.
Ms Burrows then asked to have the request set aside.
Judge Power also noted that the defence had sought for the investigating police officer to provide a wide-ranging list of documents including all police notebooks, all police diaries and police reports of the Bruce Lehrmann investigation.
Judge Power said the subpoena should be directed, not to the individual officer as it was, but to the commissioner of police.
Ms Burrows told the court that the investigation hard drive was in the possession of the police officer.

Cellebrite — which sells tech that helps the government unlock phones — announced today that the Justice Department is sponsoring a FedRAMP review for its new cloud business, which could make it even easier for officials to use the company's "digital investigative" tools...
TYSONS CORNER, VA July 23, 2025 – Cellebrite (NASDAQ: CLBT), a global leader in premier Digital Investigative solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) will serve as the official sponsoring agency for the platform’s pursuit of a FedRAMP High authorization.
Cellebrite announced its intent to pursue FedRAMP authorization in 2024. In 2025, Cellebrite Government Cloud (CGC) was reviewed by a Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO), and the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) prepared a Readiness Assessment Report (RAR), which granted Cellebrite Government Cloud FedRAMP High Ready status. DOJ’s sponsorship is the critical step required for Cellebrite Government Cloud to advance from its current FedRAMP High Ready designation to “In Process” status. This marks a major milestone that significantly accelerates Cellebrite’s compliance journey towards a full Authorization to Operate (ATO).
“We are proud to offer our U.S. federal customers reliable, secure and cutting-edge cloud solutions that enhance their investigative processes and expedite their missions,” said Erik Sachwitz, General Manager of Cellebrite Federal Solutions, Inc. “We are grateful to the Justice Department for entrusting us to implement their workflow on the Cellebrite Government Cloud. This milestone marks a significant advancement to our ongoing efforts to deepen our support of U.S. federal agencies.”
The Cellebrite Government Cloud will launch with a comprehensive suite of digital investigative tools. The initial offering provides U.S. federal agencies secure access to two of the company’s market-leading solutions: Cellebrite Inseyets, enabling immediate online access to Cellebrite’s latest digital forensics capabilities, and Cellebrite Guardian, for collaborative digital evidence review, sharing and storage. Together, these integrated solutions are designed to deliver greater operational efficiencies, support end-to-end collaboration and strengthen the overall chain of custody to help U.S. federal agencies advance their missions while meeting the scalability and security requirements of national, regional and local public safety customers. By shifting digital investigation workflows to the cloud, agencies and attorneys gain secure, flexible access to evidence from anywhere, while also harnessing advanced analytical capabilities enabled by powerful cloud infrastructure.
Demonstrating a commitment to supporting diverse missions and operational environments, Cellebrite ensures agencies will continue to have access to on-premises, hybrid and fully offline solutions, empowering them to operate effectively regardless of their unique requirements.

I have expressed before on here that in my opinion, AI is the beast. It is programmable by the psychopathic control freaks who are currently controlling our world in the seen and unseen realms.
Given the Toowoomba rape case I shared above, they apparently aren’t even able to properly control the data they are stealing from people’s device if hard drives can be erased.
Please do not feed The Beast by using any form of AI. 🙏
