I think that’s right, it’s a double edged sword. You would have to ask if you’re more likely to be wrongly accused or to be caught doing something wrong by your own recordings. This guy has been recording himself publicly since 2002 after ending up on a no fly list. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_M._Elahi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasan_M._Elahi I think that’s taking it too far and would rather encrypt than publish it publicly, but doing it publicly does strengthen the alibi

You're missing an option: Wrongly accused on the basis of your own recordings. Imagine this real life situation occured, but it was your own recordings instead of surveillance cameras > A key piece of evidence in the case is video surveillance footage showing Williams’ car stopped on the 6300 block of South Stony Island Avenue at 11:46 p.m.—the time and location where police say they know Herring was shot. > How did they know that’s where the shooting happened? Police said ShotSpotter, a surveillance system that uses hidden microphone sensors to detect the sound and location of gunshots, generated an alert for that time and place. (The defense argued ShotSpotter makes up data and hides behind opaque AI they refuse to rigorously test. Instead of responding, the prosecution dropped the case.) https://www.vice.com/en/article/qj8xbq/police-are-telling-shotspotter-to-alter-evidence-from-gunshot-detecting-ai https://www.vice.com/en/article/qj8xbq/police-are-telling-sh...

  If I follow, the police would need access to the recordings to make the case, which would mean at least probable cause for a warrant. If Herring had a camera or mic on him running at the time of the shooting wouldn’t that contradict shotspotter? It seems more likely any data you have would create doubt rather than bolster the police case. In general, the shotspotter and surveillance cameras already exist, so what do you have to counteract that? Doing things like leaving no paper trail because you pay everything in cash, or no location data because you keep your phone in airplane mode, leaves little crumbs for your defense, and may create the appearance of hiding something.
