IIRC a lot has been done to verify video and audio as having come
from a certain moment in time or general location based on recovering
the precise 'drift' of the omnipresent 60-cycle (or 50-cycle if
you're Australian) hum of the surrounding electrical system. While
it's fairly precise, it's not exact, and over very widespread areas
the exact frequency and interference patterns recovered from a video
or audio record have been used to determine exactly when (and to some
extent where) the record was made.
Relevant law enforcement and Intel agencies are, yes, known to monitor
and record the variances specifically for purposes of dating recordings
that later may become evidence.
