Practice question
A coworker who has known a person for twenty years explains that familiarity before identifying the person in admitted footage. Is identity opinion categorically unavailable because the coworker lacks forensic credentials?
- Long familiarity is legally irrelevant
- Yes; only a video engineer may recognize a face
- Only the footage’s owner may identify anyone
- No; Section53(a) allows adequately based ordinary identity opinion
- Every identification is automatically conclusive
