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
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.
