Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you?

  Im suggesting that police will find the evidence that best fits the narrative they’re trying to portray. If the phone helps their case, sure. If it doesn’t, or contains evidence to the contrary, there’s a decent chance it’ll get “accidentally” misplaced if it’s even collected at all. They’re out to prove your guilt, not suggest your innocence.

  You act like police never withhold or tamper with evidence. The persons point was that police have an inherent advantage because they get the first and often only look at evidence for a good long while until it’s turned over to any defense team.

    Which is part of the reason the burden of proof is on them.
