Use clear, daytime exterior shots to tie the place to the activity.
Always note the exact view spot (public sidewalk, distance).
For chats/screens, capture full thread context + timestamps + handles.
Preserve original files/devices; submit forensic copies when asked.
Avoid “instigation” language (don’t induce the crime in narratives).
Don’t over-plead—stick to facts that satisfy elements and your personal knowledge.
