QUESTION 1
One evening while driving home after work, Thabo was involved in a road-rage incident. The driver of a
truck didn’t like how Thabo was driving. He forced Thabo’s car to stop, got out of his truck and smashed in
the windscreen of Thabo’s vehicle with a metal pipe. He pulled Thabo out of his vehicle, shouted at him,
waved his arms in the air, climbed back into his truck and drove off. It turned out that another motorist on
the scene, David, who was right behind Thabo’s vehicle, had a camera installed on the dash of his car,
which automatically records everything in the view of the camera through the windscreen of the vehicle.
This road rage incident was also captured by David’s dash camera. The truck driver was later arrested and
has to face criminal charges. Thabo approaches you as his attorney. Advise him as to whether this video
recording captured on David’s dash camera can be used as evidence in a court of law?
ANSWER:
Yes, the video recording captured on David's dash camera can be used as evidence in a court of law. In
many jurisdictions, including South Africa, video evidence is admissible in court if it meets certain criteria.
These criteria generally include:
1. Authentication: The video must be authenticated to establish its accuracy and reliability. This can
often be done by verifying the source of the video (in this case, David's dash camera) and
confirming that it has not been tampered with.
2. Chain of Custody: The court will want to ensure that the video has been handled and stored
properly to maintain its integrity. This includes documenting who had access to the video and
under what circumstances.
3. Relevance: The video must be relevant to the case and have probative value. In this scenario, the
video captures the road-rage incident in question, which is directly relevant to the criminal charges
