Legal analysis: Yes but with conditions. Our country’s Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that all materials that can be used to prove the facts of a case are evidence. Audio-visual materials and electronic data are all evidence, and the evidence must be verified to be true before it can be used as the basis for finalizing a case. That is to say, it must be verified to be true and form an evidence chain together with other evidence before it can become evidence.
