I went back to see exactly what you were talking about. The image of the COLB could only be entered into evidence as what it is, a photograph of a thing.

OMG - BWA-HA-HA!

SO Parsley, you're saying that if you went to Court with a PICTURE of something like say, a Contract — when you can just as easily provide the judge with an notarized and actual HARD COPY of the Contract — the judge wouldn't laugh his ass off at you and refuse it as proper prima facie??!

Excuse me ...

and LMAO!!!

So Parsley, when you got your first Passport, did you try this technique by submitting a PHOTO of your "birth certificate"?

Oh BP... please... your ADHD is showing again.

A court won't have to settle for an image of the COLB. They get to see the real thing.

But you... you have to settle for the image. That's all you'll ever get to see.

Typical Birther! Half-way reading something and jumping to conclusions. No wonder you guys are the laughingstock of Jon Stewart!

OK, yes photos get entered all the time. Car wrecks. Husband slipping into the motel room with sweetie pie. Photographs of hot check.

Documents?? Kinda sorta yes. Sometimes photocopies of a document are admissible, but there are some rules. Often the original has to be unavailable. Depends on which court someone is in. Often, documents are presented “certified”. Sometimes, non certified documents are presented by a “Keeper of the Records”

And, the two attorneys can “Stipulate” to the Entry of Evidence, which means they agree to enter something before the Court without objection. Good lawyers do this a whole bunch, because it cuts down a lot of the costs and other BS.

So, bwahahahahaha away. Once again, you screwed up. I suggest you go online and google “rules of evidence documents records” and see what you get.

And, do me a favor. READ something all the way thru before you jump to your little birther conclusions.

parsy, who is tempted to send a note to your teacher

I looked again. I was right:

“I went back to see exactly what you were talking about. The image of the COLB could only be entered into evidence as what it is, a photograph of a thing. If in court, the document itself would be presented into evidence. Some courts would want a certified copy. Some wouldn’t. But as evidence, oh yes the COLB could be easily introduced and accepted.”

Photo entered as a photo. Document ITSELF presented either certified or not, depending on court. COLB [not the photo of the COLB] easily introduced.

I put that last part in because some Birthers have argued the COLB is so unreliable that no court would accept it. There was a thread last nite on that exact point put up by buckeyetexan.

pasy, who says again, READ BEFORE YOU LEAP!
