Luckily we have tape transcribers for CC jobs, very quick SDN for the other files.

We always have to bang the tapes on the table to free them up before using them, they are cack

Didn't you just write it on the back of a fag packet?

Nope, four lines on a fixed penalty notice was enough for me!

Nothing wrong with pen and paper to be honest

Tapes are out and CD's are now in Hampshire. We're working towards digital files for court etc so this is the way to go.

Anyway tapes break and are so 1980's that most new police recruits say "what are these?" makes me feel old.

The main reason it has taken this long is that we bought all the tapes we could when they stopped mass producing them, so a warehouse full of tapes was not going to just get binned.

Anyway Polaroids were rubbish pics, digital camera evidence has been so much better for the interviewer and for court.

Christ I feel old now, Maglites are new tech to me, I still think of torches as the old school big ass battery weigh a ton one bulb last five minutes type

Don't break the law guys or old tech will see you duly nicked and served up some time.

Why do the fuzz still use tapes? Is it supposed to be a chain of evidence thing?

Because if someone fucks with the tape the cut can be detected easily. I could never understand why they moved from Polaroid to digital evidence cameras though. A Polaroid is almost tamper proof once its taken.

well, then you have two issues: time and misrepresentation
who's to stop the scribe from altering something when writing it all down?

but on top of this, i think tapes would be better in the long run. it'd be controlled easily because making duplicates can be tracked better than digital copies. someone can't just break into a police vault and leave with 200 000 recordings if they use tapes. but i can do that if they had digital copies.
personally, i'd rather have my information on tapes than on media formats...
