You're run down by a hit & run driver that ran a red while speeding, you're quadraplegic - never to ride or even walk again and never to hold down a full time job again due to the brain injury, and the camera which was the only witness snapped the pictures that proves your case. Would you demand that the DA not press charges and you not pursue the driver for compensation on the basis of the photographic evidence of what the hit-run driver did to you?

Be honest.
Of course I'd want to press charges, but I have to point out that the DA would file criminal charges while you would personally file civil charges. Evidence is always a little more open to interpretation in a civil suit. I took mycphotography's evidence criteria to be for criminal cases, but he can correct me if I'm wrong.
