Over here a guy got a speeding camera fine thrown out because the authority running the cameras couldn't prove the MD5 hash they were using was adequate to verify the evidence. I can't quickly find a detailed explanation, but here's a reference: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/08/the_md5_defense.html https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/08/the_md5_defen... If my memory serves, the actual argument was that the MD5 hash was only covering the photograph, and that the speed/date/time stamps weren't included in the hashed data and therefore _could_ have been tampered with.
