Hi,

 

There has been a discussion related to the chain of custody of computer
tapes on another list where I am a subscriber.

 

Given the expertise of this list I thought I might turn here for some input
(actually I turned to Wikipedia first but
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_of_custody needs a little work in
relation to non-criminal matters).

 

Anyway, my question to you all is what part if any does the requester of a
record have in the chain of custody given that the requester might not
actually be someone who physically handles the record (or tape in this
instance).

 

By requester I mean the person who requests that a record be moved, either
internally or to or from a third party.

 

Is it necessary to have the requester recorded in the chain of custody for
it to be complete?

If you send a tape off-site or off-site do you expect a record of who or
what made that request?

Should a driver be able to leave with any tapes where he can not show who or
what requested that tape be removed?
