Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What does microfilmed mean in court?

The evidence is irrelevant All the evidence presented in court must be relevant to the case. This means that evidence must be related to the case or support it. If evidence is irrelevant to your case, then its inadmissible in court and your case could be dismissed.

What type of recordings are admissible in court?

Consent Given Of course, if all parties involved in the conversation are aware and have given their consent to be recorded, then recording without further consent is permissible. With consent, the recordings generally can be used as evidence in criminal cases.

Does microfilm still exist?

Microfilm Is Still Being Created Today Most of the ones that are getting microfilm are doing it because of regulation or statute (such as a state requirement to have an eye-readable copy of the records), while others get it because they believe that microfilm is the best archival medium for storage and longevity.

Is microfilm admissible in court?

It states that a copy (which includes microfilm) will be admissible as evidence as if it were the original provided that there is evidence of the destruction of the original and identification of the copy.

Do libraries still have microfilm?

Other institutions, such as libraries, also still rely on microfilm for much the same reason -- the need to make sure that the knowledge they store is accessible in the future, regardless of changing storage trends or potential accident disaster that can destroy or otherwise make digital records inaccessible.

What can I do with old microfilm?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (U.S. Department of Commerce) recommends burning microforms and reducing the residue to white ash. The IRS recommends shredding microfilm into 1/35-inch by 3/8-inch strips.

What kind of evidence is not admissible in court?

It means the records for that case are on microfilm. You would have to look at them to see what they say. Obviously actual evidence, unless documents, would not be on microfilm.
