Q: How do i use audio recordings obtained in my home for a private nuisance trial? do i require audio forensics?
I have noise recordings for a nuisance claim against a neighbor blaring bass heavy dance music through my walls. Recording was obtained in my home, video taken of the audio recording to act as a timestamp and confirm location of recording. If i were to go to trial, can i use these recording as proof of this constant noise issue or do i require audio forensic authentication for my evidence to have any effect?
A: You or the person who took the video/audio recordings should be able to lay the foundation.
