Study Notes
Digital Imaging Procedure Overview
- Document outlines procedures for digital imaging within law enforcement, emphasizing evidence integrity.
- Key document details include ownership, authorship, approval dates, and quality assurance by the Policy Department.
Preparation of WORM Copy
- WORM (Write Once Read Many) copies should be created immediately after image capture to minimize alteration risks.
- Previously handled by IT officers, the task is now performed by Crime Scene Investigators (CSIs) and CID Officers.
- WORM copies must align with relevant prosecution case papers to facilitate future processes.
Image and Video Management
- Still images and video sequences are managed similarly; software for proprietary formats must be included for accessibility.
- The Master copy is securely stored until needed as court exhibits, with quality control during production for Working Copies.
Retention Policies
- The retention of digital images correlates with the severity of offenses and potential appeals, civil claims, or retrials.
- Audit trails must document Master usage, enhancements, and the distribution of Working Copies.
Presenting Evidence in Court
- All images must maintain evidential integrity during presentation.
- Media cards may require re-formatting in the camera to ensure successful image storage.
Digital Video Storage
- Digital video footage is stored identically to still images for consistency and security.
CCTV Footage Management
- Police must follow proper protocols when handling evidence recorded on CCTV to secure admissibility.
- Non-removable storage (e.g., hard drives) often necessitates specialist assistance for data retrieval, especially in significant evidence seizures.
Securing Evidence
- Quick transition from image capture to defining Master images is crucial for integrity protection.
- Early protection against accidental changes is essential; deleted files may requite expert retrieval methods.
Handling Working Copies
- Working Copies can be physical or digital for investigation purposes.
- Movement and usage of both Master and Working Copies must be accurately logged.
Legal Guidelines
- Captured images from public demonstrations must comply with Article 8 of the ECHR regarding privacy and data retention.
- The legitimacy of retaining images increases if associated with suspected criminal activity.
Statement of System Administrator
- Documentation from system administrators is critical in maintaining integrity; outlines procedures followed upon receiving memory cards for evidence storage.
