recording or filming for evidence what can be used in court?

[Zigner]

Is this in relation to a specific legal matter that you are currently involved in?

Two years and the OP still hasn't extricated himself from this mess or has gotten himself into another.

The previous thread was locked.

Rules of Evidence apply. Some evidence is admissible in court and other evidence isn't. Specifics matter.

You are correct. The OP could, of course, unlock it (but most junior members of the forum won't know that). In any case, it's there now for reference for the advisors

ETA: It's also good for the advisers to be prepared for a bit of (possible) attitude from the OP.

I don't think threads can be unlocked after a certain amount of time has passed.

But I agree that having the previous thread as reference is helpful.

Ahh, good to know

Ahh, good to know

I just tested it with some of my own locked threads - and the feature allowing for locking and unlocking is not available on older threads.

Here is a link to Washington State's Rules of Evidence: https://www.courts.wa.gov/court_rules/?fa=court_rules.list&group=ga&set=ER

no its not in relation to anything in the other thread.
but that other thread and me being on mens rights pages and seeing how often men are accused of something lately brought up this question

it seems like the accuser doesn't have to prove anyting besides giving his verbal statement.

I see a lot of men in those groups almost every day theres a story about wife suddenly claiming domestic violence after she talks to a lawyer and dude has no deffence against it or other situations where a recording would clear a person of charges but its illegal to record so how does that work?



that's why I asked this question
can admin please delete all the crazy assumptions so this doesn't turn into a troll post before someone can actually answer the question?


maybe a better example:
I secretly record someone talking about a school shooting in a 2 party state like washington(since its a hot topic) but hes not aware of the recording. will that hold up in court as evidence?

A victim doesn't have to prove anything. Neither does someone charged with a crime. The state has to prove that the person charged is guilty.

We really don't do hypotheticals.

so whats the point of this forum then?
I'm giving examples obviously not related to my current issue
I'm asking for personal information if I have to deal with this issue in the future what is allowed
I don't know why its so hard to answer
yall had time to post like 10 replies about whether its related to my other post or not. but not have time to actually answer the question?

For every answer we give, there will be a "but what-if" response. It could go on forever.

 

[tenshi_R]

its already going on forever with you coming up with excuses not to answer it when you could just answer it 10 posts ago...
I'm asking so if I'm ever in a situation like that what can I do to protect myself
can I record without other person's knowledge and what situations would justify doing it

 

[tenshi_R]

I only brought up 2 real examples I'm not asking about 10000 possibilities like you seem to think
