Documents of record are scanned and stored on a mind-boggling scale these days, and there are standards in place to ensure that the citizen is protected when such scanned records are retrieved for evidential purposes later down the line (e.g. DISC-PD0008, ISO-15489). In short, scanned images of records, official forms and the like are perfectly admissible in Law, provided the standards for document capture and storage are adhered to.
One would have thought that, if there were any doubt about the appropriateness of imaging technology, we'd still have mountains of paper filed away in every government/enforcement organisation, bank or insurance company in the land.
We don't, though - doesn't that tell us something about scanned images?
