You're not talking about a monolith. Sure, if you've met 20 cops, it's unlikely that you've met any cops who are technological geniuses. Most LEOs haven't had a reason compelling enough to figure out how to fake a video. Can we be sure that no LEOs have? If we can be sure of that, can we also be sure that no intelligence agencies have? That seems unlikely.

Or to say it another way.

Only a few cops will have the ability to edit videos, the problem is almost all cops in his department will lie for that officer on the stand.
