If someone is on parole and someone turns in photos of them doing something illegal to get them in trouble, could it be used as evidence, or in order to violate parole do you need more solid evidence such as a drug test or arrest?

But remember, whomever took the photographs needs to testify as to their authenticity, timing, etc. This information is called foundation. Without it, photos alone are going to be problematic.
