O uso da prova em vídeo nos processos judiciais: uma análise jurisprudencial em casos de ações policiais.

Abstract

This work will deal with the importance of the use of video evidence in judicial proceedings, when caused by police actions, whether these actions are in accordance with a legal order or in actions with misconduct by public security agents. It will be analyzed, through judgments of the State Court of Rio de Janeiro, how the court uses video evidence to solve criminal cases. We will perceive the traditionalism and monopoly of the written test rooted in the courts. On the face of it, there is still a difficulty in analyzing and evaluating the potential of video as evidence, since judges say very little, if anything, about the influence of videos on their decisions.Of course, the use of this video evidence is a relatively new phenomenon and must be an important path to be followed by defenders, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, other legal operators, and especially by any citizen who may come to witness and filming a violation of conduct, to understand together the impact of this contemporary means of evidence and ensure treatment commensurate with its importance.
