Evidencia fotográfica de propiedades mal manejadas

Explicación Simple

Si alguien toma algo sin permiso, las fotos de ese objeto pueden usarse como prueba. Si puedes demostrar que el objeto es tuyo, puedes recuperarlo después de un tiempo.

Es como cuando tomas una foto de un pastel que hiciste. Si alguien dice que el pastel es suyo, puedes mostrar la foto como prueba de que tú lo hiciste primero.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan tiene una bicicleta que le fue robada. La policía encuentra la bicicleta y toma fotos. Si Juan puede probar que es suya y firma un documento, la policía le devuelve la bicicleta después de 14 días para que el abogado del ladrón la revise.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

Photographs of property, as defined in section609.52, subdivision 1, over which a person is alleged to have exerted unauthorized control or to have otherwise obtained unlawfully, are competent evidence if the photographs are admissible into evidence under all rules of law governing the admissibility of photographs into evidence. The photographic record, when satisfactorily identified, is as admissible in evidence as the property itself. The photographs may bear a written description of the property alleged to have been wrongfully taken, the name of the owner of the property taken, the name of the accused, the name of the arresting law enforcement officer, the date of the photograph, and the signature of the photographer. A law enforcement agency which is holding property over which a person is alleged to have exerted unauthorized control or to have otherwise obtained unlawfully may return that property to its owner if: (1) the appropriately identified photographs are filed and retained by the law enforcement agency; (2) satisfactory proof of ownership of the property is shown by the owner; (3) a declaration of ownership is signed under penalty of perjury; and (4) a receipt for the property is obtained from the owner upon delivery by the law enforcement agency. If the recovered property has a value in excess of $150, then the owner shall retain possession for at least 14 days to allow the defense attorney to examine the property. 1982 c 539 s 1 Official Publication of the State of MinnesotaRevisor of Statutes
