That's not how the legal system works. The other party would claim that you are, the courts would believe them, and it'd be on you to deal with it. "It's not feasible" won't wash - especially if you don't spend tens of thousands on your defense.

Well, of course it depends which legal system we are speaking, but where I live (Germany), there is a presumption of innocence until proof beyond a reasonable doubt establishes.

We theoretically have that in the United States, but occasionally the spirit or letter of that is not respected by authorities and juries.

This.

I don't believe in cloud servers for home automation or home security stuff, I also think encryption and local storage is great, but all these techno-nerds are under delusions that enough geeking out on technical solutions will somehow change how law enforcement or the courts treat them. If they want to pursue you for something, it won't deter them.
