There is a group of people in the UK who are dedicated to fighting terrorists.
But they are often faced with no evidence to bring terrorists to justice.
They don't follow rules and regulations. In order to send terrorists to prison, they can use any means, and even falsify evidence.
Sean is a soldier, but he was court-martialed for one incident.
Six months after he was imprisoned, he appealed with the help of lawyers Anna and Charlie.
The cause of the incident was that during a military operation, Sean thought the Taliban militants were going to shoot or throw explosives.
He said to him, "Fuck me back!" and shot him dead.
However, the helmet camera of Sean's comrade Derby showed that Sean killed the Taliban militants in the front and said, "Fuck me back" in the back.
So, the court found that Sean lied and that his "fuck me back" was not to the Taliban militants, but to Derby, who filmed his killing.
Just as Sean was about to be sentenced, veteran video engineer Levy saved his life.
Levy said that the helmet camera is not a professional camera, and the sound and picture will be out of sync when recording with it. If you record for an hour, the sound will be delayed by 5 or 6 seconds compared to the picture.
They advanced the sound of the video by 5 seconds, and it turned out that Sean did say "Fuck me back" first and then fired.
So Sean was acquitted.
Although he has recovered his innocence, relatives and friends have developed prejudice against him.
As he said, his image in everyone's eyes is still not whitewashed, and people still think that he killed a person ruthlessly, but he just used the technical loopholes in the evidence to get away.
In addition, he has been in prison for 6 months, his wife has also divorced him, and his daughter has also been sentenced to his wife, and he is basically equivalent to a social death.
And the cause of his social death was a false video evidence.
For the first time, people realized that videos were not necessarily real.
But more people are not aware of this problem.
For example, Kerry, who is a police officer, is convinced that the surveillance video is real.
Including Levi, who helped Sean exonerate, also said that you can't tamper with the live footage from the surveillance footage.
Sean had just been acquitted, and the next day he was arrested again.
The person in charge of the case is Carey.
Carey only recently made her mark by arresting Faisal and his associates through surveillance footage that found connections to terrorists.
After Sean was arrested, Carrey asked him, "Where's Hannah?"
Sean felt baffled, because last night he put Hannah on the bus and went home, how did he know where Hannah went.
But he was dumbfounded when he saw the surveillance footage.
Surveillance footage showed that Hannah didn't get on the bus, but instead he beat Hannah and took her away.
Sean said the surveillance footage was fake, and Carrey certainly didn't believe him.
At this moment, the boss informed Kerry that the video of Sean beating and kidnapping Hannah had been removed and could not be used as evidence. Kerry could only use other evidence to convict Sean.
Carey had to pull up surveillance footage to see where Sean drove last night.
Surveillance footage shows Sean crossing a river, which is a blind spot for surveillance.
Carey sent people to search the river, but the divers did not find Hannah's body in the river.
Carey sent someone to check Sean's car and found no blood in the trunk, car, and Hannah's DNA.
But Kerry still doesn't believe that Sean is innocent, because in her eyes, Sean has been exonerated because of the loopholes in the video evidence.
Now Sean claims that the video of him beating and kidnapping Hannah is fake, which is undoubtedly repeating the same trick.
But the fact is that Carey didn't find any evidence, the only evidence surveillance video was removed, she could only play Sean.
Just as Sean was released, he was taken away by a mysterious organization.
In fact, this mysterious organization is MI5.
As soon as the person in charge Frank saw Sean, he asked him where Hannah was.
Frank also grabbed Sean's friend Marty, and if Sean didn't cooperate, they cut Marty's fingers.
Sean didn't say anything about being killed, because he really didn't know where Hannah was.
Sean took the opportunity to escape, but what he didn't know was that Frank let him go on purpose.
Not long after Sean escaped, Marty also escaped.
Sean turns to Marty for help and asks him to lend himself the car as he drives out of the city.
Sean had just been driving when he got a text from Marty.
The content of the text message is: I'm sorry, I have to.
Sean stopped the car, opened the trunk, and saw Hannah's body lying inside.
This time, he was speechless.
At this time, the police had located Sean's location through the license plate number. On the way, Sean had to abandon the car and flee.
Finally, Hannah's colleague Charlie told Sean the truth about it all.
It turned out that MI5 often grasps every move of terrorists through eavesdropping.
But wiretap material cannot be used as evidence.
Since there is no evidence, they falsify evidence, tamper with surveillance video, and then arrest terrorists.
Although Levi has said, you can't tamper with the live footage from the surveillance footage.
But you can ask the actor to take a video in advance, and then use the face-changing technology to replace his face with the face of the person you want to frame the blame, and then replace this video with surveillance footage. .
A clip point transition is required between the real surveillance video and the fake video. This clip point can be any passing object, as long as it can block the dynamic picture, such as a truck or a bus.
For example, not long ago, Kerry saw in the surveillance video that Faisal and others had contact with terrorists, which was forged by MI5.
Hannah and Charlie were Faisal's defense attorneys, and Faisal told them that the surveillance video of his connection with the terrorists was forged.
After Hannah and Charlie learned about MI5's "connecting flowers and trees" technology, they decided to set up a situation to expose this behavior.
Their plan was to have actors film a video of the beating and kidnapping of Hannah, use face-swapping technology to replace the actor's face with Sean's, and then replace the video with surveillance footage.
The surveillance cameras they chose were carefully selected, and this one is the only surveillance camera around here, so they won't be able to get in the way.
"Lifting flowers and connecting trees" is not something everyone can imitate, but fortunately they have the help of Eli, a member of MI5.
They shot 25 versions, making sure to cover all situations.
On the night of the crime, Hannah did get on the bus, but got off after only one stop. Then, avoiding the surveillance video, she went to the pre-prepared house to hide.
If nothing else, Sean will be arrested and sentenced.
At this time, Hannah can stand up and testify that Sean did not beat or kidnap her. This surveillance video was forged, and the court convicted Sean with a forged video evidence, further exposing the "connection of flowers and trees".
This plot looks a bit like "The Life of David Gore", but their plan did not go as smoothly as David Gore, but two changes occurred.
The first accident was that MI5 saw through their plan.
When MI5 first learned that Hannah was kidnapped, it became suspicious because Hannah was Faisal's defense attorney.
They suspect that Hannah imitated them to play "connecting flowers".
In order to verify their conjecture, they ordered the surveillance footage to be taken down and Rachel to find other evidence.
As expected, Rachel could not find any other evidence, which means that the video is fake.
Frank then grabbed Sean and forced him to reveal Hannah's whereabouts.
As a result, Sean was killed without saying anything.
Frank thus learns that Sean didn't know about it, and that it was all Hannah's idea.
The second accident was that Hannah should hide before the court session and reappear during the court session, but Frank found out that the ghost was Eli, and forced out Hannah's whereabouts from Eli's mouth.
In order to prevent the successful implementation of Hannah's plan and the exposure of "connecting flowers and trees", Frank can only "make the fakes come true".
He killed Hannah, put the body in Marty's car, and let Marty lend the car to Sean, thus framing the blame on Sean.
Sean could be convicted if police caught him and found Hannah's body in the car he was driving.
Even if Charlie released the real surveillance video at this time, the court would think that the real surveillance video was fake because they found Hannah's body in Sean's car.
Unfortunately, Frank didn't count it, the police didn't catch Sean, and Sean escaped successfully.
After Charlie told Sean the truth, Sean asked Charlie to upload the real surveillance video to the Internet, and he was innocent.
But Charlie disagreed. He thought that if the real surveillance video was posted online now, their hard work would be in vain, and Hannah would be dead in vain.
Only after Sean is arrested and prosecuted, can they release the real surveillance video, can fight back against Frank and MI5, and expose their methods of "transferring flowers and trees", Hannah will not die in vain.
Will Sean cooperate with them?
the answer is negative.
"Truth Capture" has a feature, which can also be said to be an advantage, that no one's plan has been completely successfully implemented.
There is a genius in many movies and TV dramas. He is clever and predictable. His plans are always seamless, and things must develop according to his plan, without any accident or change.
And there is no such genius in "Truth Capture".
Hannah and Zha ideally arranged a bureau to expose "connecting flowers and trees". As a result, MI5 not only saw through them, but also killed Hannah.
Frank wanted to frame Sean as the culprit, but Sean ran away.
Charlie wanted Sean to cooperate with them, but Sean didn't cooperate with them.
The reason for Sean's reluctance to cooperate with Charlie is very simple. During this time, the police want to arrest him, and Frank's people want to arrest him. His ex-wife also misunderstood him, and everyone didn't believe him.
He panicked every day, and had trouble sleeping and eating. Finally, he learned that he was just a pawn in the hands of Hannah and Charlie. Anyone would be very angry.
Although Hannah is dead now, Hannah was killed by Frank, and Frank is the culprit. Sean is not obliged to be responsible for Hannah's death.
What's more, who can guarantee that Charlie's plan will be successful?
If Sean cooperates with them, is arrested by the police and sentenced by the court, then Charlie will stand up to help him get out of the crime, but if it fails because MI5 interferes with it, Sean will really go to jail.
The fundamental reason why Hannah and Charlie oppose MI5 everywhere, and MI5 opposes Hannah and Charlie everywhere, is that their ideas are different.
They disagreed on one question, and this question was: Can we do anything to convict criminals?
MI5 learned that Faisal provided the terrorists with hydrogen peroxide through wiretapping, but the wiretapping materials could not be used as evidence, so they forged the surveillance video of the connection between Faisal and the terrorists, and sent Faisal to prison.
This is not the first time MI5 has done this, they have done it for a long time.
However, MI5 did not just falsify surveillance video, but turned the intelligence they had acquired through eavesdropping into surveillance video, and turned illegal evidence into legal evidence.
Cell phone tracking and surveillance proved that Faisal appeared at that time and place. Although the surveillance video was tampered with, Faisal did connect with the terrorists at that time and place.
As Gemma said, they only make facts that they have. "Lifting flowers to join trees" is not to forge evidence, but to reenact reality.
In their view, they are not falsifying evidence, but saving the world, and saving it countless times.
So they don't understand people like Hannah, Charlie, why they defend terrorists.
Frank said, "Your client is a terrorist."
Hannah replied: "That's not the point, everyone deserves a fair trial. I'm not just doing this to save Faisal, or to save the victims you've framed by 'moving flowers', I'm doing this to save To help the justice system is to expose a villain like you who wants to destroy the justice system."
MI5 is still using the 1.0 version of "Transferring Flowers and Joining Trees". It is relatively cumbersome to shoot videos first, and then use the face-changing technology to change faces.
They are developing version 2.0, which is to monitor 3,000 suspects at the same time, and find their photos from their social platforms, and gradually build a 3D model for each suspect.
Once the "2.0" is successfully developed, they can use these 3D models to make any video, and falsifying evidence will become as easy as making a movie.
Although MI5 is now just making surveillance video of the intelligence they already have, who can guarantee that they will always do this?
Who can guarantee that they will not arbitrarily falsify evidence in the future, whether or not they have eavesdropped on the information?
The most terrifying thing is, what if criminals also master this technology in the future?
Then they can exonerate themselves by tampering with surveillance footage, and frame innocent people by falsifying surveillance footage. They can frame anyone, including you and me. And the court will not believe our testimony, only the surveillance footage, even if the surveillance footage is fake.
If MI5 does not falsify surveillance video, it will indeed lead to countless terrorists going free and continuing to harm society.
But MI5 falsifies evidence in order to convict them, which will also undermine the judicial system and further harm society, and the harm of forging evidence to society is greater than the harm caused by terrorists being acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
Why can't the police force a confession? Why can't wiretap material be used as evidence? Why is only legal evidence accepted by the court?
In other words, why do we have to make "illegal evidence exclusion rules"?
Its purpose is to let the police not only collect evidence, but more importantly, collect evidence under legal procedures.
If there is no illegal evidence exclusion rule, then there will be more torture to extract confessions in this world, and there will be more unjust, false and wrongful convictions, because even if a person pleads guilty, you do not know whether he really did it or whether he did it. Bumped into a trick.
The rule of exclusion of illegal evidence is conducive to thoroughly correcting illegal acts and preventing or reducing wrongful convictions.
In practice, the reasons for wrongful convictions are all related to the illegal collection of evidence by the investigators. Although the illegal evidence exclusion rule may indulge the crime, its greatest advantage is to ensure the voluntary nature of the oral evidence, so as to achieve the purpose of the accuracy of conviction and punishment.
This is what people often say: procedural justice is more important than substantive justice.
Falsifying evidence is not advisable, even if you know he did it.
