Origin: Originally from YouTuber RDCworld1's 2019 video How Lawyers Always Get Rappers Off, in which a lawyer talks to his client who was caught on video committing various crimes. The original quote is: "This is the clearest video I've ever seen! This is the most HD shit ever! This is 4K! How did they catch you in 4K?!".
