Somewhat related, on YouTube, there's a channel filled with fake police bodycam videos. The most-viewed of these are racially inflammatory, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AkXOkXNd8w

The description of the channel on YouTube claims: "In our channel, we bring you real, unfiltered bodycam footage, offering insight into real-world situations." But then if you go to their site, https://bodycamdeclassified.com/, which is focused on threatening people who steal their IP, they say: "While actual government-produced bodycam footage may have different copyright considerations and may be subject to broader fair use provisions in some contexts, our content is NOT actual bodycam footage. Our videos represent original creative works that we script, film, edit, and produce ourselves." Pretty gross.

These videos are insane, and the lack of "this is fake" comments are disheartening.

I assume those just get deleted?

I scrolled down and don't see a single comment with word "fake" (but a lot of comments like "not real") - channel owner probably automatically shadowbans all users who write "fake".

The top comment in that link GP shared was literally 'Impersonating a police officer is a crime.'

their other videos are better at riding the line of believable, much less comments calling it out unless you dig into the replies.
