That's one thing about an Iphone, the date and time is always right. If the picture is dated and time stamped 10/12/16 at 5:25 AM like some of the guys are saying and it was killed in AL, then the guy should probably expect a visit from some of B'ham Fred/Troy's buddies in the near future. Time and date stamped pics are fully admissible in court as evidence and bow season opened 10/15/16 so I'd take that for what it's worth.


Really impossible to prove, don't screenshots also get timestamps? Not to play amateur lawyer, but he woke up the Wednesday morning before season thinking about deer and screenshot a kill from last year to be the opening day hero.


Actually it is not. It's very easy to check and fully admissible. Get his phone and check the properties on the pic. Not only will it be time and date stamped as to when the original was taken but it will also contain the gps coordinates of exactly where the pic was taken. I know of a case made recently where Marine Police/G&F made illegal snapper catch case based on photos of the fish taken in federal waters (snapper currently closed in federal waters) according the GPS coordinates on pictures taken by other people on the boat. Authorities can take your phone and retrieve any pictures on it that you may have deleted. They got a third guy for destroying evidence and claiming he didnt take any pics on the trip during his interview. I know the guy that did the investigation and he said he knew they caught them in federal waters and knew they were lying about it so he went all in and busted the whole lot of them. Told me that the technology of smart phones really helps them now days.
