Honestly, it should be standard practice to assume liability any time that happens..
Police body camera mysteriously fails during a chase/arrest? The officers involved and supplier of the cameras are automatically held criminally liable for anything done during the arrest and any "evidence" acquired is not admissible in court.
Cameras mysteriously fail in a jail? Guards and prison staff automatically held guilty of anything that goes wrong until they are restored.
Cameras fail during vote counting? All poll workers there fired, all votes discarded, entire district needs to revote.
And so on. Backup systems are a thing you should have anytime anything important is going on, and if you don't do anything wrong during the time of the failure then there's nothing to fear.
Funny you mention that. If a party fails to disclose something that is known to exist as part of discovery, the courts can make a negative inference.
Instead, we continually expand the number of honor systems we employ even as they are increasingly being used by people who wish us dead.
Oh, and only they are given the benefit of the doubt. We are assumed guilty until… well, always.
The reason they don't do any of that is precisely because it makes way too much sense. To protect Our Democracy we gotta spread the blame around instead of holding anyone accountable for screwups.
