The law and video

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is not to supply a barrage of technical specifications or industry jargon. Its purpose is to clarify the issues surrounding "Reasonable Doubt" when video evidence is produced. Reasonable Doubt with reference to the systems currently used, and reasonable doubt as to the admissibility of the video evidence acquired. Psychologists tell us that a perpetrator of crime requires a perceived privacy within which to commit the crime. Close and Open circuit television removes this privacy, thus preventing the crime.
