Video
conference, is served to be a good solution for all
the state and local courts to execute live communication with the prisoner. Normally
through the traditional court hearings, logistics have to be performed for
shifting the prisoner to the court. In such cases, there is a risk of prisoners
escaping. This process of shifting the prisoner from jail to court require huge
security.
Apart from the accused interrogation, through
this solution the witness can also be submitted in
the court virtually. In some circumstances, the witness will not be available
during the time of court hearings, in such situations, with the aid of the video conferencing software, the witness can testify
what he/she have seen or observed against the accused.
Traditionally, the conferencing
technology which is being used in the legal
enforcements was a hardware based. In hardware conferencing, there are lots of
constraints such as conference is restricted for
boardroom , very high bandwidth is required for each video and require very
huge hardware components. But now most of the state and local courts are making
use of the Video conferencing technology.
This software is
composed of ample number of features, which benefits the law firms. Let us
consider, a lawyer is in out of station or in travel and must attend the case
conference. In this case, such lawyer can make use of the desktop video conferencing to attend
the case conference through online. Through this software, the lawyers can
share a document or case file immediately, without separately sending it
through the mails.
The topmost benefits of video conferencing for the law enforcements are as follows:
·
The lawyers can
attend the case conference, by being anywhere and anytime.
·
Lawyers can avail
the advantage of taking the reference of the various other lawyers, through video conferencing software
·
Reduces the risk of
prisoner escaping, as the prisoner is presented to the court from the jail itself.
·
Minimized need of
heavy security for shifting the prisoner to the jail
·
The witness can be
kept confidential and can produce, them virtually at the time of case
conference
·
Case files can be
shared with the judge instantly
Finally it can be concluded that the law firm
is not an exception for availing the services of video conferencing.
Through this solution, the court hearings are done much effectively and the cases are closed within short span of
time.
