I had an awful breakup with a woman with tortuous tendencies and a false sense of how to abuse personal injury law and she keeps google home devices and car devices recording practically every moment of her life. as well as apple watch broadcasting her location at all times.
I observed she would always accuse me of things i never did in front of these cameras to get me to give false confessions. thankfully i am as blissfully honest to all people i meet, sometimes to my own detriment, so i never admit to fabricated stories.
given that context, can you point me to judicial precedents where plaintiffs had their self provided footage weakend due to the idea of fabricating false narratives with devices, selectively natrowing contexts etc.

I was part of an organization that had communal space we wanted to install a camera in because one of our members was leaving a mess and we wanted to know who.
I’m not a lawyer, nor a judge, nor an expert but I’ve hired a lawyer about the above cameras before installation.
First of all, there’s no “selectively narrow contexts”. If you can submit footage into evidence, the courts incl the other lawyers can request different moments in time if you have it (eg for surveillance cams).
Our lawyer advised us to never start/stop the camera, never delete footage or generally mess with it in any way without a paper trail of why. Any footage should auto delete after a period of time, and not be manually done ever. Basically any manual manipulation of the footage could be suspicious if a crime were to occur where people might suspect the footage to have captured it.
I assume if our lawyer warned us that much, there’s probably a case history of trying to plant a narrative with footage.
