You are absolutely right, and for anyone who disagrees, think back to last summer's "Central Park Karen" case -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_birdwatching_inci...
Had the victim not been a unique UNION of {phone with battery + full video of scene with audio + harvard grad + well dressed} he would likely have ended up arrested, probably tried, and quite possibly convicted/pleaded, possibly even end up on a sexual predator listing.
Think of how many times this has happened. Now think of how star-crossed lucky the victim here was that he had irrefutable evidence to clear the false accusation.

That is one lucky professor -- how did she get granted an exception? There are tons of unlucky people who suffer as a result of bad/shoddy/vague reporting, how do they also get a carve-out?
