I think it is also entirely irrelevant where either videos are actually from.This is a small town police department not FBI's Quantico forensic crime lab. I would not be surprised in the least if the detective did a google search for "how to clip a video" and used the freeware from the first adsense link. I work with such departments for similar things and the extent of their knowledge is basically needing VLC or MPC-HD to open various video formats from cheap security camera footage provided to them by residents. Investigating famous Youtubers and evidence from their livestreams isn't really a common thing for local cops.
I would also not be surprised if the detective relied solely on a clip and then later the full video downloaded and provided by a 3rd-party viewer like Cog or PPP. It doesn't matter. If the video has been altered in any way Nick can demonstrate that in court with his own original copy. There's he reason he hasn't and only made vague insinuations.
Pomplun has explained in detail that:
1) He was told there were indicators of drug use in a recent video
2) He went and watched the entire videos
3) He went and watched additional Crackieta videos
He comes to the conclusion, based on his training to recognize indicators of drug use in a person, that Nick was on drugs in the coke stream video and might have been using for multiple months prior.
And this is just ONE pillar the search warrant was based on.
And I think this is very strong and it is entirely irrelevant which channel the videos were uploaded on when Pomplun watched them.
He had reason to believe they were accurate copies of the coke stream when he watched them. The End.
Nick's argument dies right there, unless he wants to directly accuse Pomplun of falsifying evidence directly or someone (*cough* Aaron) providing a link to an altered video to frame Nick.
