Well, that's kind of my point.
I don't believe that police officers are above lying and falsifying evidence either. If I provide video, IMO it's up to the other side to prove that it's been falsified, not just say it COULD have been falsified and therefore is inadmissible. I COULD have hired actors and rented vehicles that looked exactly like his and re-enacted the entire scene with a lookalike of him too. I COULD have been given a falsified video by space aliens. The police officer COULD be lying. You COULD be lying comatose right now with false memories being implanted into your brain electronically. But everyone has to make assumptions about what evidence they will accept to make their decisions.
