AI will add or delete elements according to it’s algorithm, resulting in altered evidence that is no longer authentic. As a general rule, these results can be used for investigative purposes, but can’t be introduced into court as evidence.
Here at Video Forensic Analysis, we complete enhancements using manual techniques and provide the proper documentation to authenticate the process. Therefore, our analysis can be accepted in court as authentic evidence.

Critical Incident Briefing
On 11-24-2021, the New York City Police Department received a 911 call reporting a man with a gun in front of an apartment, resulting in a police involved shooting.
Due to the low light and fast moving situation, the police body worn camera made it difficult to determine the details of the shooting. We enhanced the video, then organized a police incident response video suitable for release to the public.
