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? [10]
Yes, the video recording captured on David's dash camera can be used as evidence in a court of law.
In most jurisdictions, video recordings captured by dash cameras are admissible as evidence in court.
The video footage can provide crucial visual evidence of the events that occurred during the road rage
incident. It can help establish the sequence of events, the actions of the parties involved, and the extent
of the damage caused.
