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.
Well, garsh dang. I was just typing up something very similar. Thank you.
If I do provide video, and while under oath in court, if asked if I tampered with it, then I have to respond truthfully. But yes, anyone can lie.
Note: The driver did confirm that he was the driver of the vehicle.
If the driver of the vehicle states he believes that the video COULD have been tampered with, then he has to provide proof to backup his claim. I cannot provide proof that I did NOT tamper with it. I can't prove a negative.
EDIT: This is traffic court by the way, not an episoide of CSI: Nova Scotia.
