Spanish term

fijación fotográfica del sitio

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
Estoy traduciendo un artículo sobre el asesinato en Venezuela:

"Según el levantamiento planimétrico, la recopilación de testimonios por parte de varios testigos, la **fijación fotográfica del sitio** y el análisis criminalístico, llegamos a la conclusión de que fue asesinado por este comando del crimen (...), expresó."

Encontré esta definición para fijación fotográfica: "Se refiere al conjunto de fotografías que serán tomadas en el lugar en el cual se cometió un hecho delictivo, sirviendo como evidencia para determinar cómo fue encontrado el lugar, objetos, cuerpos o todo aquello que será fotografiado."

Pensé en crime scene photos, pero no estoy segura.

Muchas gracias por su ayuda
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): philgoddard

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Forensic/Crime scene photography/photograpic record

Forensic photography, also referred to as crime scene photography, is an activity that records the initial appearance of the crime scene and physical evidence, in order to provide a permanent record for the courts.[1] Crime scene photography differs from other variations of photography because crime scene photographers usually have a very specific purpose for capturing each image.[2]

Photographic inspection of the crime scene

Homicide scene is another option (as fit the case)

"The court noted that the defendant, who had been provided crime scene photographs of the apartment in question and had lived in the apartment in the past, made only a “speculative showing” that did not meet his “necessary prima facie burden of showing that **inspection of the crime scene** would yield relevant material evidence, not already provided, necessary for the preparation of the defense case.”

Fijación fotográfica del sitio

I found this official definition by the Ministerio Público (Public Prosecutor´s Office) of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, but unluckily I was unable to find the corresponding translation in the English glossary available on the same site. The query term is clearly related to (a collection of) photographic evidence taken on the site or location where the crime was committed.
