A link to the full statement is below.<\/p>\n<p>The rapid pace of advances in mobile and other communication technologies continue to present a significant challenge to conducting court-ordered electronic surveillance of criminals and terrorists. There is a real and growing gap between law enforcement\u2019s legal authority to access digital information and its technical ability to do so. The FBI refers to this growing challenge as \u201cGoing Dark,\u201d and it affects the spectrum of our work.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of our increasingly digital lives have been accompanied by new dangers, and we have seen how criminals and terrorists use advances in technology to their advantage. In the counterterrorism context, for instance, our agents and analysts are increasingly finding that communications and contacts between groups like ISIS and potential recruits occur in encrypted private messaging platforms. The use of encrypted platforms also presents serious challenges to law enforcement\u2019s ability to identify, investigate, and disrupt threats that range from counterterrorism to child exploitation, gangs, drug traffickers and white-collar crimes. In addition, we are seeing more and more cases where we believe significant evidence resides on a phone, a tablet, or a laptop\u2014evidence that may be the difference between an offender being convicted or acquitted. If we cannot access this evidence, it will have ongoing, significant effects on our ability to identify, stop, and prosecute these offenders.<\/p>\n<p>For the full statement, Click here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/news\/testimony\/fbi-budget-request-for-fiscal-year-2019\">https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/news\/testimony\/fbi-budget-request-for-fiscal-year-2019<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is an excerpt from the statement supporting the Budget Request that FBI Director Wray made to Congress last week.
