Overview
Evidence is the activity of monitoring digital evidence submitted within a case. Before publishing the evidence, uploaded by the Contributors, several aspects are considered, the absence of which could conflict with the formal recognition of digital forensics. The shortage of verification could adversely affect the overall acceptance of digital evidence as being legally sound and reliable scientific evidence. To ensure the admissibility of evidence, VIDIZMO’s Digital Evidence Management provides the Evidence Review functionality which can be enabled/disabled as per the requirements of the police department.
