I imagine humans have a lot more cognitive biases that affect their memory than a video camera, even groups of humans.


Eyewitness testimony might be less valuable than we intuit, but I'm not sure where this puts us in this conversation. Should we just surveil everywhere?


It looks like that is where we are headed. Once the cost of storage and cameras is lower than the cost of litigation, it becomes a simple money saving measure.
