    Yeah….

    Lemme guess next you’re going to say that the security tapes, which were provided by the school, were deep fakes.

    … the mother got it from the kid and everyone else saw it happen on the tapes.

    They can at the very least state that the kid was assaulted (with a deadly weapon, at that.) nobody is denying that much.

      It’s possible. There was another case recently of someone faking a phone call to make it sound like this guy was going off on a racist tirade. But, after investigation, it was found to be fake.

      Thus, alleged.

        Yeah, faking a recording of a phone call that’s floating off in the nether is one thing.

        Faking recordings that can only come from one specific camera, and can be matched to that specific camera, pulled from a presumably secured dvr is not something even the best AI can do. Certainly it without extensive access to those systems.

        Every digital camera creates random and consistent artifacts in the video. Every police department in the nation has access to the necessary tools to do that analysis and it takes ten minutes.

        Not that there’s a reason to check, because again, the cops presumably watched the video get pulled from The DVR minutes after it happened.

          As you said, that’s a presumption. That just further shows why they say “alleged”.
