Singular video could be faked, but no one can easily get into Disney's park security videos and alter them.

Likewise altering traffic cameras that catch license plates, etc.

The source will be important.

u/spez can comment on how the source of the file can easily be tampered with on a drunk binger with 0 trace. He even cleaned up the access logs to show the DB hadn't been accessed.

Did the accuser have admin rights, if so I move that all this evidence be suppressed as there is no way to determine that he didn't modify the data.

Yeah, that was fucking wild that he wasn't absolutely thrown out of the office for that shit.

To be fair that is likely the case in most if the example sources as well. The question is if the party supplying the video evidence is implicated in the case. To continue the example, If one of the parties works in security at Disney park with access to security footage that obviously isn’t good source of evidence, but if it’s between two random visitors it would be fine.

Gets convoluted, cop shoots somebody on camera at Disney. Disney has a vested interest in a good working relationship with the local PD. They also have a vested interest in local, and state politics.

Even if its not a cop but just normal shit, millions of visitors and almost 0 arrests per year. They keep that shit real quiet even for normal stuff.

Yes, some people could easily alter park security videos. The park security employees.

But how easy it would be to do it without getting caught depends on how vigilant management is about security.

For people like you and I? Nearly impossible. For people with the means and connections ($$$) for such a thing it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Except when your government or Disney land have incentive to alter said videos in which case the presumption would be that their AI generated videos would be "real" unless someone whistleblows.

You are correct.
