Legal question. How to make sure a statement is set in time appropriately?

[Justtocheck]

Let's say I want to make a statement/report and I want it to be known that it was done at a certain time/day. And I want to make sure no one doubts me and then says I did it later and forged evidence. In past times, I image you made a signed statement under penalty of perjury and you gave it to a lawyer, but nowadays, can there be a way to state something in a specific time and that it's impossible to forge?

There are 2 main ways to do this. One is get it notarized. The other is to write it on a bar napkin in a drunken scribble. They are both considered equally valid for all legal and governmental purposes.

Indeed.

Real answer: How rich are you, @Justtocheck? If you're loaded and well-connected with powerful friends that are willing to vouch for you, then the truth is whatever you want it to be and you don't even need to bother with beta shit like 'preparing an alibi in advance' or anything like that. But if you're a poor bitch with no friends then the truth is whatever the cops/prosecution decide it is when they catch up with you.
