Surely lawyers will know about the tech soon enough to simply show the same video evidence with the judge in place of the defendant -- reasonable doubt right there.

The blackmail angle I expect will work for a while. People falsely accused of sexual crimes can have their lives ruined by the accusation.

The justice system will hopefully catch up quickly.

But as you say the media (real and social), political propaganda, etc will exploit the uninformed masses for all it is worth, so blackmail will still work. For a while.
