This also happened with fighting DUI's once dashboard cams became the norm. It used to he that cops would be challenged, attorneys would be making cops do field sobriety tests in the courtroom to show it's hard, they'd be arguing the driver was sober etc etc. that doesn't happen much because their actions, their stumbling around, their failng the test, all their arguing and shit talking, admitting to drinking etc is on video now.
