Re: seized PC

You've left out important information. Did the police have a warrant to seize your computer. If not you can demand it be returned now. If they have a warrant then it becomes a reasonable time. What county did this happen in. Some counties have good computer forensic resources internally and others send them off to the WSP lab.
