<div class="moz-cite-prefix">My recollection was that in GA, you
needed a private investigator's license, whatever that entails.
You can imagine that there's going to be a barrier to entry there
- it can be lucrative work (albeit one that entails a lot of
waiting around, which, one hopes, is billable) and any shmoe with
a liveCD can conceivably handle light requirements.<br>

<pre wrap="">I _must_ be misunderstading the requirements of all of this, because I
simply cannot believe that what I am finding could at all be accurate
for the things that I want to do.
The reason I am sending this here is because I know that there are
people here familiar with the process, though I apologize for the mostly
off-topic nature. Though if it helps, I plan on doing the work with
Linux! :-P
Anyway, I want to have the ability to perform analyses that may be
court-bound. My understanding is that in GA, this requires some form of
licensing. That's fine, and I'm willing to get a license, but the only
thing I can find says I need to have a four year degree in criminal
justice and two years experience as a law enforcement officer or a
person in charge of things at a company that is so licensed. Really?
Even though I already know how to do things like preserve things and
ensure that they're sound, I can't just pass an exam or something?
Is getting a company bootstrapped for this really that much of an
ordeal? Just to be allowed to say "yes, I was able to find data items
X, Y and Z on drive AA, and this is the procedure used to make it a
forensically sound process" in a court?
