Chain of evidence kind of thing?
Like they used to have to use Polaroids (some places anyhow) to ensure the pictures weren’t altered at some point. (I don’t know what they do about that now.)
What do other police departments do?

Interesting, I’ve wondered about that. I’m no forensic expert, but I don’t know how you’d ever be able to tell a good PhotoShop job from the real thing. Present-day technology would’ve made Winston Smith’s job way easier.
digital for some stuff, but courts won't take digital stuff for the reasons you specified.
we still have to use the good ol' polaroid camera!
