Eyewitness testimony is a lot more reliable when they've got a video to back it up.

How can we conclude this if we don't know whether the video is accurate or falsified?

Ordinary photo/video evidence can no longer be trusted as either support or impeachment of an eyewitness' report.

Eyewitness testimony by honest witnesses is what's considered unreliable. Video corroboration is what makes it reliable.
