Level 1: Forensic Video Analysis & The Law

June 15 @ 8:00 am

The increased use of digital video systems by the general public has made digital multimedia evidence (DME) a significant and integral part of modern criminal and civil investigations. Since there is no standard video recording system in use, the need for trained individuals who know how to properly recover this type of evidence has increased. Properly acquiring DME is crucial, as all other processes or use of the video is impacted by accuracy of the recovery. This course introduces and provides a fundamental understanding of DME, introduces the types of systems likely to be encountered, discusses legal issues related to DME, and focuses on the proper recovery of DME.

Using this information to produce accurate observations or calculations based on the file’s header information will result in a more thorough report and/or presentation and is also relevant information that can be provided to other experts who are untrained in video examination yet rely on video evidence in their field of expertise (i.e., accident reconstruction, use-of-force experts, biomechanical experts, etc.).
