Well I'm officially creeped out.
If you allow government to break the law for an "emergency" they will create "emergencies" to break the law.

That's pretty amazing technology. There are small tells but still amazing.

To the point about video nowadays though, I could imagine a suspect claiming that a video footage was edited to add him/her in it or change what it appeared he or she did. Certainly the technology is out there since we se movies made on computers that look real.

How would prosecutors prove that video surveillance hasn't been tampered with?

It would be very hard either way.

This is also footage that we are being shown on YouTube.

There is much more advanced stuff that we may be aware of, but which we won't see proof of like this video. If someone described it, you would not be impressed, not the way you are seeing it right here.

I'm sure there are no "tells" with more refined versions of this technology.

I'm also thinking there must be technology to recreate fingerprints on surfaces. Especially with today's 3D printing machines.

People can already recreate door keys, based on photos of those keys, with 3D printers.
