Re: Photo of Jet Breaking the Sound Barrier
Daniel J. Matyola On the contrary, courts in my jurisdiction frequently admit drawing of the scene of a crime or an accident, as well as many other illustrations drawn by hand or computer. Like everyone else, judges know that photographs can be altered, and for that reason they are never admitted on their own, but only after a person testifies, under oath, that the photo is an accurate depiction of what it purports to show, I asked my lawyer about this and he pretty much confirmed the above (this applies to U.S. law only, obviously): The photo, digital or traditional, isn't really worth anything as evidence in and of itself; what's important is the testimony of witnesses who swear under oath that the image is an accurate depiction of whatever it's intended to show. Subsequently, either traditional or digital photographs are acceptable. I didn't ask about drawings but what you describe makes sense.

Re: Photo of Jet Breaking the Sound Barrier
I first saw this photo some time ago, when it won the World Press prize for science photos, but it still knocks my socks off everytime is see it. I've taken shots of one fighter jet from another, and they are always difficult. This one is damn near perfect, and, of course, he was skillful enough (and perhaps lucky enough) to catch the decisive moment. If fact, this picture could serve as a definition of the decisive moment! -- Daniel J.

- Original Message - From: Mishka Subject: Re: Photo of Jet Breaking the Sound Barrier photographs are accepted in courts as evidence. paintings are not. have no idea about digital. this sorts it out, doesn't it? Photographs are only accepted in the courts (Canadian, anyway) under the following provisos: 1) The photographer testifies that the photograph is an accurate representation of what was seen through the viewfinder. 2) The original negative is produced as evidence, and all people who handled the negative, from the moment it hit the lab for processing right down to the lawyers mistress swear that this is the negative used to produce the print being used as evidence, and that absolutely no manipulation of the image was done. Been there, gone to court for it. 3) Digital imaging, because of the lack of negative, and the ease with which seamless manipulations can be accomplished, have no legal standing before the courts. This sorts it out. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
