Audiovisual evidence in context

Distinguish a complete hearing from an exhibit or a media extract. Captions, translations and voiceovers may add a separate layer of interpretation.

Look for a case reference, hearing date and transcript passage. The presence of a recording in proceedings does not by itself establish every claim made about it.

Distressing content requires restraint. Avoid replaying violence simply to attract attention; provide context and consider the dignity and privacy of those represented.
