What about these statements is a lie?

Maybe in Latveria they don't allow video footage in court.

This has already been covered, many times already.

If you say so.

Police wear body cams to document their interactions with the public. This prevents them from having "he said, she said" situations in court, and goes beyond personal testimony. People do install dash cams in their cars to protect themselves against "he said, she said" situations. In many cases during an accident the video from the dash cam was enough to prove the other party was at fault. Video footage of bank robberies, and shoplifting is used in court.

We come here mainly to defend ourselves, our teachers, and our practice. If the attacks stop, then we do as well.

There is nothing to apologize for.

Unfortunately that just isn't true, but you are welcome to keep arguing that if you like.

Chang does speak some English, for more advanced concepts he relied on others to help translate.

Police officers wear body cameras to prevent "he said, she said" situations. This allows them to document their encounters with the public, beyond what is possible via personal testimony alone. Dash cams are used to document what occurred in an accident, they can and do provide evidence the operator of the vehicle was not at fault. Without this it boils down many times to "he said, she said" and that is why people buy and install them in their cars. Video evidence of robberies and shop lifting crimes are routinely used in court.

By definition video is objective. We are not contending that the video of John is proof of anything, only that it is the best evidence we know of at this time.

Again the Magus of Java is merely a record of what John said to Kosta. We have no way of knowing if it is true or false.

Please link to the specific post.

The magus of Java is a record of what John said to Kosta, if it is true we have no way of knowing. Police wear body cams to avoid "he said, she said" situations and to document their interactions with the public. The camera records what really occurred without bias. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/objective 2a : of, relating to, or being an object, phenomenon, or condition in the realm of sensible experience independent of individual thought and perceptible by all observers : having reality independent of the mind 2b : involving or deriving from sense perception or experience with actual objects, conditions, or phenomena https://kodsiengineering.com/using-video-evidence-in-accident-reconstruction/ "We love objective evidence. When forensic experts get video footage related to a collision or incident, it’s like Christmas came early for us." https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/26322744.pdf?seq=1 "Body-worn cameras (BWCs) are one of the nation's latest policing tools to be used in the effort to increase police department transparency, strengthen community trust, and fight crime.

I know what you said, but I haven't seen it.

Objective video evidence is certainly better than "he said, she said" nonsense. Personal testimony has proven wildly unreliable.

Please link to where I was the first one to bring up Mo Pai.

Certainly videos like this are interesting, but with no scientists and medical doctors present to do their best to rule out fraud occuring, they are not something we consider to be good evidence.

I was referring things like interactions between the police and the general public recorded on camera, dash cam footage used for for insurance purposes to determine fault, video of bank robberies, video of shoplifting from retail stores, etc.

I was not the one who brought Mo Pai into the discussion. I created a separate thread because complaints were made it was being derailed. There is nothing to apologize for.

I was not referring to confessions.

Certainly that is interesting, but no scientists or medical doctors were present to do their best to rule out fraud.

Having a team of scientists and medical doctors strip a subject to their underwear and undershirt, use a metal detector to make sure metallic devices are being hidden, and taking them to a random location, is better than a video where no such scientists and medical doctors were present to do their best to rule out fraud occurring.

You have a strange legal system then. Here everyone I know installs cameras in their car so they have a record of what happens if they are involved in an accident, police wear body cameras to document their interactions with the public, cameras are everywhere especially in retail stores, and banks where the footage is used against people who break the law.
