Sub Rosa Videos and Psychological Evaluations
During the slightly more than 30 years I have been conducting workers’ compensation and personal injury evaluations in the State of California I have participated in the examination of between 5,000 and 10,000 patients. In the last decade the majority of those examinations have been Agreed Medical Evaluations for workers’ compensation purposes. In the course of conducting those evaluations I have watched my share of sub rosa video surveillances. How relevant are those recordings?
Overall, the average sub rosa video depicting an individual walking down the street, driving a car, going shopping, gardening, talking to a friend, smoking a cigarette etc., has little value in providing information relevant to drawing conclusions about their psychological status.
