Legal analysis
Audio and video recordings without the consent of the parties concerned, which do not infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of others or violate the prohibitive provisions of the law, can be used as the basis for finalizing the case. In order to make the recorded evidence have legal effect, the following three conditions must be met at the same time: first, the recorded evidence produced by the parties has not been cut, edited or forged, and it is closely connected, and the content has not been tampered with, which is objective, true and coherent; Second, the acquisition of recorded evidence must comply with the law. The holder of recorded evidence uses methods that infringe on the privacy of others or violate the prohibitive provisions of the law, such as eavesdropping in his workplace or residence, which is evidence obtained in violation of the prohibitive provisions of the law and cannot be used as litigation evidence; Third, the other party did not refute or the reasons for rebuttal were not established. When the recorded evidence is used as the basis for finalizing the case, it is also necessary to examine whether there are doubts in the recorded evidence. If the other party questions the recorded data and provides sufficient evidence to refute it, then the recorded evidence will lose its probative force; If the evidence is insufficient to refute, the probative force of the recorded evidence shall be confirmed.
