I'm not looking to make a business of out this which is why I went with .org instead of .com. I'm looking to solve a major problem with sending photos/videos to police departments. I'm looking into chain of evidence now. Thank you for your helpful feedback.

Yep. Look into digital evidence or "e-evidence". Both are big topics in crime scene investigations and many law enforcement agencies and courts have established procedures for handling. There is ample discussion.

I just added the MD5 checksum from AWS S3 to the email alerts for each linked "evidence".
I think it may be easier to refer to more as a crime tip submission site. However, with that approach you are competing with Crimestoppers which already accepts photos and videos from tipsters. Again, IANAL, but I believe those submissions fall into something similar to a polygraph. Where if you submit a photo/video to the site, the police can use it to build a case, but cannot use it in court.
Depending on where you are located, I do know a few crime scene investigators and computer forensic investigators that I may be able to put you in contact with and who could better answer your questions.
