Jason Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Quote Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit has discovered that a self-deleting messaging app called Tiger Text has been adopted by at least one US police department, which may have used it to share sensitive and potentially incriminating information that they wouldn't want to be disclosed to a court. Current and former officers from the Long Beach Police Department in Southern California have told Al Jazeera that their police-issued phones had Tiger Text installed on them. The Tiger Text app is designed to erase text messages after a set time period. Once the messages have been deleted, they cannot be retrieved - even through forensic analysis of the phone. The police officers who spoke with Al Jazeera said the confidential messaging system was used to share details of police operations and sensitive personnel issues. Two of the officers claimed that they were also instructed by their superiors to use the app to "have conversations with other officers that wouldn't be discoverable". I thought this deserved to be separate from the usual police bullshit thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
