Why cell phone pictures might be important in drug cases

Cell phone pictures might have evidence of crime in drug cases. I’ve been seeing for years in search warrant affidavits that officers want to see pictures on computers or in a house because of the propensity of drug traffickers to take pictures of their scores. And, I’ve seen them in evidence: all the plants of the grow operation, the bounty from the big score, the pound of coke before it is parceled out. See Mail Online: Driving his Porsche in pants, posing with stacks of cash and beating up his rivals: Photos found on lost phone of ‘Chinese gangster’ show his bad-boy lifestyle. Besides the stacks of cash, there’s a picture of torture with a pair of pliers and a foot to the neck.
