I was using it to mean “not any more reliable than a statement from any person I don’t intrinsically trust” - but I see your point and accept your correction if such is the case.
Police testimony means nothing to me without some form of corroboration, and if it’s their description of how or why they killed someone, that corroboration should be video or very convincing non-police witnesses.
I thought hearsay is anything that is not testimony. So video is technically hearsay
