I"ve had the un-fortunate task (no pun intended) of trying to provide a Sheriff's department 'forensics' (ie, network and server access/records, etc.) for a student who murdered his parents. That was upon request of the Technology Director of the ISD ... who actually made the request.
And haven't been involved in one of the following ... but there is potential for it in some communities/ISD's ... especially for students that are in competition to graduate with highest honors.
Students and maybe Parents of student protest a grade ... and let's say for good measure they have legal representation + judge has granted technical reps hired by the lawyers a court order to the ISD allowing them to do their own investigation.
Could it really come to that? Uhhhh .... yes.
I'd much rather have a sandbox server ... same version of Moodle as production, restore the course to that sandbox and then grant those technical reps full access to the sandbox.
My 2 cents.
