Then it's a confession & the images shouldn't be needed or be admissable in court. Cheers, Paul. |

No. The courts will consider digital evidence on its merits, taking into account any chances of forgery or other error, just like any form of evidence. Christian. |

Al There was a case some while ago in which video footage recorded and compressed using MPEG was dismissed as evidence as the result of slippery footwork by the defence. The issue is that MPEG has temporal as well as spatial compression (i.e. not every single frame is there in full). So, the argument went, how could the video be relied upon if some frames could be missing. Unfortunately the stupid judge bought into it. Surveillance is typically done with Motion JPEG and other spatial codecs to avoid this issue. -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

Criminals should pay us instead of us paying for their imprisonment: I suggest a sentence of time-limited slavery. Far more practical. NT |

Far more practical. That is exactly how slavery had functioned in Africa before the Portugese arrived - a short-term sentence for criminals. Colin Bignell |

Is it an effect of the camera & poor lighting, or can Mr. Park really be such an ugly evil-looking scote as he appears? He looks like a stray extra from 'Lord of the Rings',e.g., Gollum's brother, a partially made-up Orc or something similar. He appears to be suffering the hair-loss typical of many 50-year olds. Is this an affect of some habit? |
