A Video or Recorded Statement at the Prosecutor's Office

In short

A video statement at the prosecutor's office is the taking of the statement onto a technical recording, and it is not present by itself in every session. Even if there is a recording, a written record in most cases still stands. The two may not be copies of the same sentence. No custody day is set out in this article. A recording does not by itself turn the statement into a court judgment.

A recording is not in every session

A video or audio recording is kept in some sessions and not in others. In which session it was kept is read from the recording note in the file. If there is no note, it is not written as if a camera were there. A child, or a particular investigation arrangement, is not frozen in this text as a list. The list is drawn from the papers in hand.

The general face of a statement at the prosecutor's office is in the statement at the prosecutor's office article. The written paper is in the statement record article. The counsel line is in the defence counsel article. Preparation before the statement sits in the before giving a statement article. If the four subjects meet on the same summons, the four records are kept apart.

The record still stands

Even if a recording was taken, identity, the question, the answer, and the signature are in most cases put on paper. If the paper and the transcript conflict, both remain in the file. One does not by itself make the other of no effect. A signature placed without reading does not cease to be open to argument because a recording exists. The person giving the statement has a sentence they did not understand entered on the record.

What stands as a document may be both the video and the paper. If a copy of only one was given, the missing one is asked for separately. The petition writes which recording is missing. A missing recording does not erase the sentence that exists.

How the recording is read

The video note and the written record are read as two faces of the same session. If there is no recording, the absence is not converted into a custody day. A number of days is not written. The address of the Çankaya office does not change the prosecutor's office where the statement was taken, or the competent authority. The unit is read from the prosecutor's office on the summons.

If the transcript and the sentence of the record diverge, the place of divergence is marked. The mark does not cause the whole statement to be disregarded. A procedural objection is built with the hour and the signature line. If the line is absent, the objection stays as a general discomfort.

Silence and counsel

Even if there is a recording, silence and a request for counsel continue. The camera is not treated as having removed that request by itself. If counsel was not in the room, it is looked at whether this was entered on the record. If it was not entered, the gap is written. The gap does not also produce, in every file, a result that throws the recording away.

Service is the face of the summons. An allegation of a recording made before the summons arrived is tested against the service and the date of the record. If the dates conflict, the two documents stand side by side. The decision is not tied only to the existence of a camera.

The transcript and the paper

If a transcript of the video was written separately, the transcript may not repeat every sentence of the record. That it does not repeat does not by itself make the record wrong. For it to be called wrong, the two texts must have written different answers to the same question. If there is no different answer, one of them may only carry a missing detail. The missing detail is not completed from the other text. Completion is done with the sentence that stands in the file. A sentence that does not stand in the file is not written as a transcript.

If the name of the recording device, the hour, and the page count of the record are not written in the same place, that gap is stated. The gap that is stated does not mean the session never took place. If the session took place, the identity line still stands. If the identity line is also absent, it is asked which person's recording it is. The question does not produce a custody period. The period stays outside this comparison.

If the summons and the hour of the recording conflict, the two documents are set side by side. The conflict does not erase the content of the statement. The content is read from the record and, if there is one, from the transcript. A result that the recording was irregular is not written before the reading ends. A result that is not written does not mean the objection will also be left silent. The objection is tied to the hour and the signature line. An objection that is so tied does not have to deny that the recording exists. If the recording stands, the difference between the transcript and the paper is written. A finding of irregularity is not built without the difference being written. A result that is not built does not mean the session was never recorded either.

Conclusion

A video statement is a technical recording. It is not a condition in every file. An Ankara lawyer does not put the recording and the record in each other's place. The frame is on the criminal law page. There is no promise of an outcome.

The basis is the Criminal Procedure Code No. 5271.

Legislation

Frequently asked questions

Is there a camera at every statement to the prosecutor?

No. A recording is not present by itself in every session. This text does not give a list of when it is mandatory.

Does the video do away with the record?

In most cases a record is still drawn up. The two may stand together in the file. One does not delete the other by itself.

If it is said the recording was irregular, what is read?

The allegation is read from the hour, the signature, and the recording note on the record. Without a concrete line, a general sentence of complaint is not enough.
