Multi-Source Triangulation Rule

Breaking social accounts (@spectatorindex, aggregation bots) often report raw unvetted casualty counts. Newsroom standards mandate at least two independent primary channels (SAPS Police Commissioner, EMS Dispatch, or verified local hospital morgue records) before publishing definitive casualty tallies.

Solar Ephemeris & Shadow Verification

Given latitude, longitude, and stated incident timestamp, the solar elevation angle is mathematically computed to check footage veracity. If night shooting footage displays long sunlight shadows, the media is instantly flagged as pre-recorded or misattributed archival b-roll.

Precinct & Ballistic Ballistics Triage

In South African municipal shootings (eThekwini / Durban metro), police reports differentiate between hostel gang disputes, taxi association turf warfare, and armed robbery. Corroborating the ballistic caliber and precinct registry stops false speculative terror framing.
