Scrutiny only happens when evidence is contested as forged. You have to be willing to lie under oath that the evidence is forged before anyone would even care to look into it. And if it's determined not a fake through other evidence, for example, corroborating witnesses and footage, then you'll have impeached yourself and nobody will really believe you from then on.
Eg, evidence is kind of like a witness. If all the evidence is stacked against you, you're screwed. If one video shows you and you claim it's fake and everything else points to it being fake, there's a shadow of a doubt.
I wouldn't worry too much about forged evidence.
- handedness 6y agoCorrect, I'm familiar with how it works, hence whether they are willing and able to contest it. Often the will to contest it just isn't there, as people know they've been had. That said, one's will is often contingent on one's ability. Anyway, the reality is likely that the biggest impact of forged evidence is unlikely to be in courtrooms; it's going to be in the court of public opinion.
