Relying on someone else's opinion of who is a criminal

I'm not talking about someone else's opinion, saying that if
someone else has seen that in vidual leaving your house, that's
as good as you having seen that yourself if they are reliable.

But that is a very big if.

Only a small one.

Many see what they want to see. And make things
up when it suits them too. Or are simply mistaken.

Hard to get it wrong when seeing the perp leave your place.

Hence the need for such evidence to be properly tested.

Only when jailing or fining the perp.
