Law enforcement fabricating evidence is probably a much bigger issue. No matter how well you verify the accurarcy of your own evidence, if the system is corrupt, then it doesnt matter. Digital media is only one small part of that problem. Server logs, message logs, existence of files on your confiscated devices, call logs, etc. can all be fabricated by police. Fabricating images is just a cherry on top.
Cops can just raid your house, confiscate your drives, carefully plant CP on them and claim that you were in posession of CP. Im pretty sure this has happened before.

See, this is why I hate the typical social media (yes, including reddit and lemmy) bandwagon of always sideing against the accused for any sex-related charges. Like… c’mon, it hasn’t even been proven in court. If they “find CSAM” or has a random person making SA claims against a democratic socialist candidate running for high office, I’m gonna be very skeptical of the claims. Could’ve been falsified to derail a campaign.

You know there are Windows audit logs that can show tampering like adding files after the equipment has been confiscated.
And before you say well they can edit/remove the logs, it tracks that stuff too.
