Yep. As I stated, you can falsify an event happening later than it really did by prerecording and only uploading later, but you can't fake that it happened after uploading. With clever cross-referencing, it might even be possible to prove decisively when the file was created.

That was my rationale.

Whether or not he is really innocent isn't the point. The issue is being jailed without evidence. Guilty before proven innocent happens all over the world, and is happening more often now due to political polarization causing fraudulent accusations to be par of the course for prominent individuals - it is becoming an occupational hazard as we delve into idiocracy.

You wouldn't lose privacy by using a blockchain if the file is encrypted. It is protective, because the time of upload can't be faked with a blockchain. As I stated, one could prerecord and upload at a later time, thus faking the register to make an event appear more recent than it really is, but once uploaded, there is no way to falsify the recording has having happened at a later point in time than the upload. If these recordings are being streamed in real time non-stop, the recordings can be assumed to always reflect reality, thus providing strong evidence in court.

Hard to be taken out of context if the audio is cross-referenced with upload date and time, GPS position, your heart rate, oxygen level, sleep patterns, step count, etc...

Also, fixing the law takes years. Injecting your ear hole with a hearing device takes a few seconds.

It might be worked around, but so can almost anything.
