Who has to watch video evidence of crimes, if the video is illegal to watch?

469 viewsOtherTechnology

When photo/video evidence is presented/found….I assume someone has to watch/see to document who all is involved, what happened, prove it’s real, etc.
In cases where minors are involved, non-consent, etc…..who has to watch that? How do they keep it from getting out further?

I’ve worked in computer forensics, in most of the cases I’ve been aware of individuals are prosecuted for possession of this material vs. viewing it. There are very strict regulations regarding ‘chain of custody’ for evidence like this, when its not being actively reviewed its secured in an alarmed evidence locker with CCTV monitoring.

If the material is online, the Feds will still seize the systems hosting the content and review both the evidence and the billing/access logs to determine who to prosecute.
