A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words - Especially When No Photo Exists S1:E5

Published: April 23, 2019, 7 a.m.

We live in a visual world. As such, jurors love to see photographs and videos of an incident or incident location. 

Further, such visuals can help us to aggressively defend a case from the outset. 

While it may seem like a simple matter to take photos or videos, the fact remains that many public agencies don't know a proper workflow for creating such items. Moreover, they don't realize the visual story or context that needs to be captured and played back. 

Even if you have photographs and videos as part of your standard investigation workflow, we still have to deal with predatory lawyers who try to object to the foundation and admissibility of them. In today's episode, we'll talk about the importance of taking post-incident and pre-repair photographs and videos. We'll also talk about some photo and video creation minefields to avoid. 

In this episode: 

  • The importance of post-incident photographs and videos 
  • The importance of pre-repair photographs and videos 
  • The importance of post-repair photographs and videos 
  • The use of flash
  • Retaining your photographs and videos
