This paper briefly maps the tension between doctrine and practice surrounding visual evidence and the necessity to consider images as a mode of information relay on their own terms. In doing so, it argues that visual information policy is becoming an important area of study for scholars working at the intersection of media, communication, information studies, surveillance studies, and the law.
