But surely then they wouldn't be immune to claims that their evidence wasn't a high-fidelity fabrication as well?

- a3n 8y agoLaw enforcement is generally given the benefit of the doubt. They're professionals.
- ben_w 8y agoNot immune, but law enforcement generally has trust-by-default from the general population, whereas everyone they accuse has distrust-by-default. I don’t know how to solve that. Not even in principle, as even a hypothetical future A.I. jury, judge, lawyer, and cop would have the “what does ‘good evidence’ mean?” problem in addition to the incentive alignment problem that already makes many of us question the justice of our laws.
