Crime scene photos, videos speed up litigations – Roque

By Prince Golez

Videos or photos of crimes could help law enforcement speed up investigations, according to Malacañang.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque was reacting to PNP chief Debold Sinas’ warning that taking videos and photos of crime scenes could put witnesses at risk.

“May posibilidad po talaga na magkaroon ng danger doon sa buhay ng kumukuha. Pero ganun pa man nandyan ang teknolohiya para mapabilis ang paglilitis nung mga lumalabag sa batas,” Roque said during a virtual presser Tuesday.

A video of the incident showing Police Senior Master Sergeant Jonel Nuezca shooting a mother and her son to death in Tarlac over the weekend made the rounds of social media and has now become viral. Nuezca is now detained at the Paniqui Police Station and is facing double murder charges.

“Kaya nga po may ilan nagsasabi dapat magkaroon ng body cam ang mga pulis para makita natin kung ano ang nangyayari bago gumamit ng dahas ang pulis. Kaya rin po tayo napakadami ng CCTVs sa lansangan para makita natin kung sino ang gumagawa ng krimen lalung-lalo na ang isyu ng identification,” the spokesperson said.

“So, sa akin po, mas mabuti pa rin na nagkaroon tayo ng video dahil napakadaling patunayan ng pananagutan ng police na ito dahil i-authenticate lang ang video na ito kung sino ang kumuha at puwede na pong matanggap yan bilang ebidensya,” he concluded.
