Default Defense objections were not made timely either...

A. The FBI uses a device, along with other law enforcement agencies, made by ADS. It's a device that the FBI provides to me. It has proprietary software. To my understanding, it has hash marks in the software that doesn't allow it to be tampered with.

Now, if I read the above statement correctly, that the software is proprietary, then the word "it" in the following sentence could plausibly refer to the software program containing tamper prevention code that allegedly prevents the software itself from being modified but not necessarily the digital content of whatever was remotely uploaded to the ADS system. I would have at least wanted to clarify what was being stated but experts at counsel's elbow would probably have noticed the need for such clarification, etc.
