I mean, we know they can be used as evidence against you, but what if I was actually just chilling and watching Youtube videos at home? Can my spying piece of shit phone ironically save me? 🤔

    Soon it might actually become the lesser evil, considering the possibility of deepfakes.

    Evidence trustworthiness would be like (from least to most trustworthy):

    • Photo/Audio Evidence
    • Video Evidence
    • Eyewitness testimony
    • Eyewitness testimony + the witness was also also recording it at the time

      Ahem.

      • Photo / audio / video evidence.
      • Eyewitness testimony

      That the eyewitness was also recording does nothing to change veracity, those are still photo / audio / video and can thus be faked.

        Its more like defence against misremembering/misidentifying rather than outright lying. If a witness intends to lie, then like the video portion doesn’t really matter, because neither could be trusted in that case.
