We already have that, today.
With fantastic tools such as TurnItIn[0], that regularly flags my own work as plagiarizing my own work. And we see with those tools, already, there is a presumption of guilt. The professor will believe the tool over the student, often without the slightest glance to see why said tool is saying the student is guilty.
