Ontario Private Investigator Practice Exam

What is considered Real Evidence?

1. Witness testimonies

2. Digital recordings

3. Material objects, such as a weapon or item of clothing

4. Verbal admissions

The correct answer is: Material objects, such as a weapon or item of clothing

Real evidence refers to physical or tangible items that can be presented in a court of law as proof or support of a fact. Witness testimonies, digital recordings, and verbal admissions are all forms of testimonial evidence, which rely solely on a person's memory and perception and can be subjective and unreliable. In contrast, material objects such as weapons or clothing provide a more concrete and objective form of evidence, as they are physical objects that can be examined and analyzed for objective information. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
