Building inspection receives an original JPEG from a resident's camera that still has GPS EXIF. How should they use those coordinates?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
GPS in a JPEG is a sticky note on a map, not a signed survey. Plot it, look at the street-level view, and see whether the scene matches. Do not swear out a conclusion on tags alone, and do not start scanning whoever owned the camera.
Full Explanation
EXIF GPS is a useful pivot when the original camera file is available, but coordinates can be wrong, copied, or stale. The professional next step is to verify the point against maps and visual context (Street View-class imagery, landmarks in the frame). Tags are not a standalone legal finding, and device reconnaissance is not PORP. Note the EXIF values, the verification steps, and any mismatch.
