[FOOLISHNESS] VW's Gone Wild

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

not that im trying to defend those jokers, but wouldnt they need some form 
of warrant to sieze the video tape evidence? along the lines of the fact 
that its not the law for you to incriminate yourself. wouldnt the tape be 
doing that? also, video tapes are generally not admissable in court, and if 
they are admitted, they are only considered under the oath of the person 
running the camera (the fact that they are unaltered). this follows the 
lines of the miranda rights. you basically tell the dumbass not to say 
anything so they dont incriminate themselves. i seriously doubt that guy 
jumped out and said 'here officer, check out this cool video!'. example: i 
could photoshop a shot of the speedo in the rieger, making it appear that it 
was doing 160 mph. there would be no case against me as there is no way to 
validate the photo without my agreement that it was authentic, and even if i 
claimed it was authentic (as silly as that may be for me to incriminate 
myself), its still only my word, and not taken as some form of 'video/photo 
factual data'.

(probably way wrong - someone please fix me if so)
