Then why was it used for an arrest warrant? Should evidence not be examined before the warrant is issue? Or can you just claim to have video evidence of a murder to get someone you don't like arrested?



> Should evidence not be examined before the warrant is issue?

Examined and secured. Having evidence in official custody should be a prerequisite for using it in an official capacity - or stuff like this happens.


Generally it should be secured before an arrest warrant is issued, examined before a trial

You don’t have a right to fight an arrest warrant. But you do have a right to review the evidence that will be used against you during your trial.


I think the general point still stands. The evidence was no secured either.
