Photo packs are ______________, regardless if identification was made.

• A. Evidence
• B. Confidential notes
• C. Property
• D. Testimony

Answer: (A)

Photographs used in investigations are a form of evidence because they document facts relevant to a case. A photo pack captures the scene, conditions, positions of objects, and other details at a specific time, helping to prove or disprove what happened. The value of the images isn’t dependent on identifying every person shown; even unidentified pictures can support reports, corroborate statements, or challenge inconsistent testimony. This makes them documentary evidence when properly preserved and authenticated. They aren’t confidential notes, and while they can be owned as property, their primary role here is evidentiary rather than being testimony, which is spoken or written statements by a person.
