Scope and legal
Geolocating a person is sensitive. Finding where a news photo was taken is verification; finding where a
private person lives from their holiday photos can enable stalking. Only geolocate people's images when your
purpose clearly justifies it, and never publish a private person's location.
Uploading is sharing. Opening a reverse-search link sends the image URL to that search engine. For sensitive
material, prefer engines you trust, or skip the step.
Copyright. Downloading a photo to analyse it is generally fine; republishing it is not. Keep originals with the
case notes and link to the source instead of re-posting.
Keep the chain. Note where you got each image, when, and its SHA-256 (from image-hash), so you can show it
was not altered.
