Other means of obtaining identification evidence include surveillance cameras, cell phone cameras, camcorders, fingerprint and DNA banks, sketches (these can be made by an artist or with an Identi-Kit with the assistance of one witness or the input of a number of witnesses), clothing, unusual features (a description of such features as tattoos, scars, gold teeth or other dental features, hair, weight, and size can increase the reliability of an identification. Such unusual features can be exhibited in a courtroom as identification evidence), voice identification (a recording of the offender's voice may be available from a message-recording machine, voice mail, or other means) and spectrograms or voiceprints.
