Chat Evidence Preservation Record

PROBLEM: Operation Cooked's cases rest on online chats — detectives posing as children, men responding, ages disclosed, meetings arranged. If those chats live only in a detective's export or a single device, a lost file can take a case's foundation with it. Twenty cases, each built on a chat, need a preservation record that outlasts any one export.

SOLUTION: A chat-evidence preservation record: every decoy conversation preserved as a governed copy with its age disclosure, its timestamps, and its chain of custody attached, versioned so a later export never overwrites the original — so the evidence that supports a charge is the same evidence the operation collected.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — Operation Cooked: undercover detectives created profiles on various websites and apps and posed as minors; the men who responded were told the ages of the children they believed they were talking to; some conversations involved detectives posing as parents (Osceola County Sheriff's Office via The Florida Press, Oct 9, 2026).
