Sure, they can be of help but they are not the "end all, be all" of self protection nor are they the "end all, be all" downfall of anybody either. Like I said, there are "blind spots" in film that the viewer can't see. Just like you're not supposed to see the camera crew or the microphones used in making a movie. Those are hidden blind spots that the film crew takes advantage of to make their film. Videos don't catch everything that's going on - EVER! They only catch what the cameraman wants to catch.
And you're wrong again - There are several ways to tamper with film that experts can't identify anything being wrong. For one, a person can simply cut the beginning of a video out so that the video benefits their elaborated "story" or even the ending can be cut out for the same purpose. Therefore there's no way for an expert to know what happened at the beginning or the end of the video. They will only be able to see where the video starts and where it ends. So basically only the middle and still, they can't see what's going on in the blind spots. There's also indirect tampering where a person knowingly only films what they want to film. In other words, they don't videotape everything. They only video what they want their story to say. The film won't look tampered with, but then again, it's indirect tampering so there wouldn't be any physical tampering at all.
And from here on out, I'm just going to stop wasting my time with your insulting claim of what I am and what I am not. I've told you what I do for a living and now you're just beginning to act childish about it. I can not for the life of me understand what your personal problem is with this other than a personal hatred for Police or some form of childish jealousy that perhaps I have a more adventurous and interesting job than you?! Yeah, that's probably it!
