Forged evidence is a problem that has existed in court before. The whole concept of a clean chain of custody of media or an object, the trustworthiness of the thing that generated it, people being able to argue that something is fake and then prove it, has been around for centuries.

There was a brief period during which we could make exact digital replicas of what happened, but not fake them very well, and it sounds like that’s drawing to a close. But that just means video is on the same footing as every other type of evidence.
