| There is definitely an opportunity here. Several things you will need to consider: 1. Documented chain of custody for the evidence. For it to hold up in court everybody that touches any evidence must be logged. 2. There is a process that police departments utilize when handling computer data in terms of photos or videos. Most big cities and states have large computer forensics departments that handle this type of evidence specifically. To hold up in court, they need to be able to prove the data is not only real, but original and unaltered. 3. There should be a way to verify the photo/video belongs to the crime being investigated. For example, let's say several homes are broken into in my neighborhood. I have a home surveillance system, but really dislike my one neighbor. I decide to take a few stills from my home surveillance system of my neighbor walking by my yard, and submit them as potential evidence in the case. 4. I realize this is early on, but as the site stands now, I would never submit anything through it. How do I know I can trust the site, how do I know my evidence got to the detective investigating the case. As law enforcement (which I am not) how do I know the data is secure, how do I know it is real, etc... Like I said, there is a good opportunity here. But there is also a ton of case law that makes implementing what would appear to be a simple solution much more difficult. |
