In some states law enforcement are using the downloaded data from the vehicle’s black box / event data recorder (EDR). As a matter of fact some department’s are uses the EDR as a stand alone accident investigator tool, which is somewhat questionable. Once the vehicle is impounded (in police custody) is the data to be downloaded requiring a warrant or not (warrant-less issue). This is determined by a state by state and/or as well as a Fyre (standard) or Daubert (standard) hearing. Other police departments use different methods to determine the cause of the accident.

ZUCKER, can evaluate vehicular manslaughter cases in which the veracity of the accident reconstruction investigation including auto black box / event data recorder (EDR) which in some cases are not accurate and/or speed measuring devices, such as radar, gap time / Vascar, laser / lidar, and traffic control devices (traffic: signals / lights and signs) are called into question, from an expert witness / forensic / engineering point of view, nationwide, as well as providing expert witness testimony. - By Perry Zucker
