Custom Aerials: Legal Documentation
Legal documentation in the form of an aerial photograph is an important,
powerful tool to use in resolving a court case. A large 4' by 4' aerial photograph
of an intersection, for example, is far more credible than a sketched map. A
picture is worth a thousand words.
Here are a few reasons an aerial photograph is a powerful tool:
- PROVES EXISTENCE of fact or issue
- EDUCATES the jury
- CREATES visual tool of accident site or incident location
- CONVEYS a clearer impression of oral testimony or scale sketches of conditions at the scene
- PROVIDES direct evidence of points not described by a witness
- HELPS to prove material fact in issue
- DEMONSTRATES fact in assisting others in case understanding
- DISPROVES testimony of a witness
- CLEARS-UP contradictions of a witness
- ASSISTS a witness in illustrating or explaining their position
- BEST available means of presenting the appearance of a scene at a specific time
- REFRESHES memories of officers or witnesses
- SOLIDIFIES specific point
- NEGOTIATION TOOL for settlement
- RELEVANT EVIDENCE - Blacks Law Dictionary defines RELEVANT EVIDENCE as evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.
Aerial Perspectives can provide a signed letter of Photographic Certification, stating that only normal darkroom techniques, i.e., correcting density and color balance, have been used to produce the image and that the image content has not been manipulated either traditionally or digitally in any manner.
