FILM EVIDENCE IN CRIME CASES

By F. W. MEMORY

At Chesterfield Police Court not long ago a cinematograph film taken by a police cons. table was produced in evid- ence for the first time in the history of British Justice. The possibilities and limli- ations of the cinema as an aid to crime detectión, are dis- cussed in the following article.

The modern car is so reliable and trouble-free that unless the owner chooses to find out all about the mechanism as soon as he buys it there is every chance that he will never do so of his own accord.

For one cannot rehearse the panic which would seize the vast population of any large city in the event of a real raid with modern bombers.
