This is something that has always been in the back of my mind. How do we know that what you get from a court reporter is accurate. I am not well versed at all in how this process works but it seems to me that it would be very easy for a court reporter to be bribed by one side or the other and have it become the official record.

Remember Cops the TV show? Lots of places banned them from filming because they didn't want cameras pointed at the officers because of stuff like this:

Now you have body cams on cops, camera's on cell phones, and dashcams. How many times do the cops take days to release footage, only to have allegations that the footage was altered crop up? Or the camera and recordings were lost or not turned on in the first place? If the courts are resisting having an absolutely impartial record, and there are issues of alterations to the official record, they certainly wouldn't have a problem losing the videos either.

Just saying that the smart way to do this is to allow the litigants to bring in their own recording equipment. That way there's no 'We lost the video' or 'The equipment failed' excuses on the part of the courts. Maybe it places a burden on the litigants who can't afford a recorder, but almost everyone has a cell phone that records video or audio nowadays. I could even see law offices having video recorders as an service to their clients.

Appearance of conspiracy against the civil rights of litigants to obtain accurate transcripts necessary to file appeals. This impacts ability to get or enforce custody of children, effectively kidnapping, making this a potential racketeering operation.

End child kidnapping and racketeering. also, don't think the DA's has no possibility of being involved. They get incentive payments. Enough incentive to potentially sanction and participate in an organized racketeering enterprise. Arrest and charge district attorneys who engage in organized crime!
