A Computer Forensic Expert has been testifying at the Casey Anthony trial in Florida about internet searches she made. I'm curious is this information coming from subpoenas served on Google etc. . . or is it actually stored on your computer?
What is the Computer Forensic expert actually looking at?

I don't recall hearing them saying anything about getting search history from google, I'm sure there would have been more noise about it if that was the case. I believe they just seized her computer and that she didn't clear the search history. to answer your question , yes, its on your computer.
It is stored on your computer until you clear history, cache etc. Some browsers (IE) are more obtuse about how to do this. To get it from google would also require the assistance of the ISP in order to know the client's ip address at the time of the search.
Also in general terms, just deleting a file, does not erase it from the disk, there is software to recover deleted files.

Ah, is that all they were talking about, it was made to seem much more complex.It is stored on your computer until you clear history, cache etc.
Thanks
The amazing thing about this case is that it is broadcast all over the place. With the exception of the statement of facts in the Russell Williams case and the OJ murder trial, this is the first time I've seen anything like it. Then again, high profile cases like this will do it. This girl, Casey, is a piece of work. The evidence points to the fact that she claimed her nanny took her daughter Caylee all over Florida. Then one day, Casey admits the nanny kidnapped the little girl and that Casey has spent the past month using her resources to find her daughter. But the kicker is that while Casey was supposedly looking for her daughter, she was out partying at clubs, entering hot body contests and sleeping with as many guys as she could get. While sitting in jail, her parents tell her (before the baby's remains were found) that they raised $250,000 for a reward and Casey's response is "Wow, that's half my bond." On another occasion, she tells her parents she is the victim here. She also leads the cops on a wild goose chase. Tells them she works at Universal Orlando. When the cops investigate, they find out Casey hasn't worked there for years. So they bring her into Universal and tell her to point out where she works. She leads them all over the place then turns and says, "I don't work here." What a piece of work.
Both. It can be found on your computer. As well, when you connect to the internet, your ISP assigns you an IP. When the police come knocking, the ISP has records of which accounts were given what IP's and at what time. Then the police can ask Google if they received any traffic from your IP and what you were doing on their property.A Computer Forensic Expert has been testifying at the Casey Anthony trial in Florida about internet searches she made.

Here's a record of known spying guides for LE - http://cryptome.org/isp-spy/online-spying.htm
These documents detail what information they record and the protocol for LE to request it.
Sadly, some of your rights are currently at stake now that Harper is in power.

The lawful-access bills would require Canadian ISPs to purchase and maintain deep packet–inspection equipment. ISPs would be required to disclose personal information – including names, physical addresses, email addresses, and IP identifiers – without court oversight. These bills would create new police powers including data-transmission warrants allowing real-time access to data as well as retention of data for up to 90 days.
