影像证据探讨

Image/Video Evidence

影像资料目前已经广泛应用于案件调查,是法律规定的重要证据类型。然而,至今有关如何在侦查和诉讼过程中对影像资料作为证据使用的问题只有一些理论性探讨,缺乏结合实际的讨论。本文针对影像证据,讨论实际应用中涉及的四个方面的问题,希望能最大限度的发挥影像证据的价值。一是分析了影像证据有关的法律法规,包括不同部门的规定的比较,给出了实际应用中需要注意的地方。二是讨论了保证影像证据合法性问题。第三点讨论证明影像证据的真实性,包括程序保证和技术证明两部分。最后重点讨论了如何提升影像证据的关联性。主要从关联性的定义出发,结合影像证据关联性特征涉及到的主观和客观要素,分析总结了提升关联性的途径。

Image/video materials, which are widely used in criminal investigation, are an important type of evidence. However, there are few discussions on how to use this type of evidence in case investigation and lawsuit. This paper focuses on the evidence features of image/video materials and discusses related problems. Firstly, we review how the Chinese Laws define the image/video evidence and some issues that need to be paid attention are proposed. Secondly we lay our respect on the legitimacy of this type of evidence and the way to guarantee the legitimacy. Thirdly we think over the authentication of the image and video evidence, pointing out that the authentication must be safeguarded with both procedural legitimacy and right techniques. Finally we emphasize the relevancy of the image and video evidence, setting our definition about it, and concluding the approach to enhance the relevancy in conjunction with subjective and objective essentials.
