interesting article re Video Evidence in belgium newspaper;

(Swedish)

quick translation;

swedish police filed a complaint against themselves after a sewdish TV
show revealed that police used manipulated video footage as evidence.

The TV show Uppdrag Granskning [http://www.svt.se/granskning/]
compared its own footage with the evidence used by the attorney
general.

The comparison shows that images were swapped, sound was edited, and
police brutality cut out. Scenes where 19 year old Hannes Westberg
gets shot in the belly have been tampered with.

PS the complaint is about copyights and abuse of power.
