Certainly, just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Sure would be nice if this was just conflict of interest. Fuck this timeline.

So, once video evidence becomes unusable as a source of the truth, they also don't win, right? It may take time, and a lot of fuckery, but it's only so long until someone uses it to frame prosecutors and judges, it's kind of a battle of attrition at that point
Granted, they are on the other side of the class divide generally, but this all seems like a really easy thing to fight fire with fire on

Yeah my first thought was why invest in both a video evidence company and a video invalidation company. I guess to hedge bets, but it’s really just because they can make plenty of money on e before it is invalidated.
Darker timeline is just merging the 2 companies so they have the perfect tool to arrest and oppress whoever they want.

Your last point I imagine is the goal of it all, no doubt they already do that with whatever methods available, just another tool in the toolbox I suppose
