Legitimately a good argument here, the chain of custody has to be validated in court, having pictures of text messages is often dismissed due to how easy they are to be forged and how often people use other people’s phones, unless the police have your phone unlocked and can prove you were the one who sent the message or go directly to your phone provider who usually deletes data after the minimum time mandated so they don’t have to fulfill costly subpoenas.

Authentication is such a fucking low bar and, even if it wasn’t, most attorneys seem too tech retarded to even make the argument.
Of course every judge I’ve met hasn’t been much better, so stupid arguments sometimes prevail (“tech scary” does the work).
