Videos or surveillance
footage can confirm a crime and help trials go more swiftly. However, they can
also make the proceedings more complicated because of issues that could arise,
such as tampering with the video, concealment or destruction of the footage,
and admissibility of the evidence. When it comes to traffic crimes like DWI,
footage taken from CCTV systems along highways or roads and from police
dashboard cameras is usually considered key evidence.
