Some time ago I gave this considerable thought, and I ended up with the position that video evidence should be admissible only under certain narrowly construed circumstances....
Basically it should have to be a recordin specifically of a crime in progress. It should not be available for building a circumstantial case, such as wrong place wrong time. It should require a factory installed timecode, in GMT, which is encrypted and tamper proof. There was more, but those are some of the basics.
