Today, visual and audio evidence is everywhere and can be found at more locations and from more diverse sources than ever before. Forensic Video Analysis is defined as the scientific examination, comparison, and/or the evaluation of video in legal matters. Most people believe that video is the ‘silent witness’ and that ‘what you see is what you get.’ However, a proper forensic video analysis will show that this is not always the case. In fact, often the videos examined and analyzed are not the original videos with the original meta-data, but copies of the original file from the DVR/NVR system.
With the capabilities of Axon Investigate (formerly Input-Ace), Mr. Healy can interrogate Digital Media Evidence. Mr. Healy’s focus is to authenticate the video as being a ‘native’ original file, find the metadata within the video, determine frame counts and specs of the video, interrogate both the video and audio streams, and help identify the who, what, when where and why of the case.
Mr. Healy also uses multiple Canon XA10 video cameras as well as multiple GoPro video cameras to capture video of the scene, vehicle inspections, re-enactments, and any other visual or auditory evidence. He frequently travels with the investigators out on the road and helps in documenting and capturing the scene.
