As a point, it would cast doubt that the evidence is too good to be true. Clearly what we're seeing is the video she showed him and the scenese that play during the conversation are mockup recollections. It's entirely possible that this guy is being gaslighted by his girlfriend who has manufactured cinema grade evidence to convince him of his own guilt. She appears to be a woman of means, she might be trying to convince him to leave quietly. He strikes me as the kind of guy who would fall for it. And he has an embarrassing friend she might not want to be connected to. "Honey, I wasn't there." "I saw you! I have it on video and there are marks on your shoulder." "Wow.

You can like someone and disagree with some of their views. I'm a big fan of the KZbinr Logicked. He makes quite a lot of solid points and he knows how to argue and dismantle someone else's argument. But he's said several things I disagree with. That just comes with exercising your own critical thinking skills. Nobody's views match up exactly. Although not enough people realize this fact. Case in point (but working in the opposite direction), I recently figured out why my ex is so passionate about her support for Trump. She hates "bleeding heart liberal SJWs" so she decided to align herself with the complete polar opposite, effectively attempting to offset extremist views with opposing extremist views. Whereas my political alignment is closer to centrist. But I digress. Extremes should really be avoided. Just because you like someone, doesn't mean you have to go all in on sharing their views. And just because you don't like someone, doesn't mean you should automatically join the opposing side. Don't just follow blindly. Form your own opinions. Sorry for the wall of text. I just hate it when people pull this crap. It shows a complete lack of critical thinking. And that's why the world is so messed up right now. Too many parrots and sheep.

[@TheoEvian]

plus the whole song is a joke. It is not exactly clear that it is so from the various narrative techniques plus the genre sometimes makes hard to understand what people actually mean and what is a joke but in this case it was made deliberately so it would look ridiculous. The contrast between the damning evidence and the defence "it wasn't me" is so stark that it makes the defence look ridiculous and this is why it ends with a resolution, that it is better to just admit your wrongdoings. But they aren't at a court of course.

@@danielaramburo7648 Well, I am not sure if Shaggy would regret giving keys to their house to his WIFE, that seems a bit ridiculous but yes, sure.

[@firstworldbratofficial]

since the footage looked like security footage I would argue that she does not have the right to the footage because the security system is installed in the house(that presumably he owns and her name is not on the title ) and since he gave her "an extra key" she has no more rights to the security footage than the housekeeper and would that not make it inadmissible in court and since she was watching in her car that could add a voyeurism charge on her ( i am not a lawyer at all I am just throwing out my opinion)

[@dentistguba]

Particularly if the roles were reversed a guy spying on his wife could be turned on him being controlling and jealous by the defense.

[@firstworldbratofficial]

@@dentistguba by her being his wife make her half owner of the property and at that point she would have the right to the footage since presumably she lived in the house on the song he refers to giving her "an extra key" and does not refer to her as having any marital relationship making her no more that some one that has access to the house like a house keeper

[@trippysiren7966]

Wait. If he gave her the spare key, this implies that Rik's girlfriend does NOT live in there. So if she's watching on camera while not in her house, unlawful surveillance is very much a crime, so...yeah.
