A LAWYER on Monday urged the Supreme Court to allow courts to admit video recordings taken by mobile phones, dash cams and CCTV footage obtained from anonymous sources as part of evidence in criminal proceedings.

Aside from the video of Gonzales, Fortun told the Chief Justice that another concerned person sent him a video last September 5 of another road rage incident that happened on August 19 where an unknown individual had pulled out and cocked a gun at a taxi driver. Unfortunately, the lawyer said, the individual gave him specific instructions not to reveal his identity out of fear for his life.

“This concerned netizen appears to have captured this incident using his dash cam installed inside his motor vehicle, but he gave me specific instructions not to reveal his identity out of fear for his life,” Fortun said.
