Hi Everyone,

If you've ever had a difficult time describing to others the differences
between authenticity and integrity, here are a couple of videos where it
becomes very evident.

The first is the video of the "Sandra Bland Traffic Stop" which has been
authenticated as originating from the dashcam of the Texas Department of
Public Safety's arresting officer's car.  The video provides information
and evidence from the arrest.  Its authenticity has not been questioned,
but if you look closely, especially between 32:32-34:34, you will notice
that the video has been looped (you will see the same white car make a left
turn repeatedly), but the audio runs smoothly.  That is to say, the
"integrity" of the video is questionable.

The second is the video of the "Center For Medical Progress: Video Proves
Planned Parenthood Is "Selling Aborted Baby Parts" sting operation. In this
one, the authenticity is and the integrity are questionable because a) it
was recorded secretly by an anti-abortion group with an agenda, and b) when
compared with the unedited, original video, there are at least three
crucial edits that reveal the Planned Parenthood official was instead
discussing the reimbursement cost for consensual, legal tissue donations.

Very interesting to think about how de-contextualized information with
questionable authenticity and integrity can undermine the accuracy of a
record or recording!
