war on photography
Miami cops allegedly point guns and demand a camera from someone filming them. Then smash a cell phone camera. The police managed to shoot 4 bystanders. No wonder they don’t want the video out.

That was truly a classic… Maybe these guys and the Pima County Swat team can get together for beers then go shoot someone afterward…

Yep, they should be the only ones armed.
Only 100 shots fired. Must be budget cuts.

I’m having a hard time coming up with a way that PD mgmt justifies their officers a) threatening a bystander with deadly force, b) destroying the property of that bystander, and c) destroying it specifically to try and insure that no record of public police actions exists. Now I’m sure they’ll come up with a way mind you; an explanation that it was vital to officer safety to assault citizens and break stuff in an attempt to destroy evidence, but as I said I’m having a hard time seeing someone deliver that with a straight face. Guess that’s what makes them professionals.

Download the app Qik. Live instant streaming video to the internet from your phone. There is no way to delete the video off the phone because it instantly saves it to the internet.

Here’s something useful Congress can do, under the authority granted to it by the 1st and 14th Amendments. A bill to legalize recording LEO’s anytime they are on duty.
Perhaps it’s past time for us to push something like this to our Congresscritters.

I’m thinkin’ that it might be time to invest in one o’ those pen cams. Clip it in the pocket and when things start to go bad just turn it on and keep the pocket pointed toward the action.
Eveybody else just thinks you are watching the scene unfold.

emdfl: Just logged in with the same idea. I do have one of those w/ 8GB memory and I’ve been playing with it.
Several problems:
-In the pocket the cam tends to be pointed above the action. Natural body curves does that.
-There is a blue (or red) LED that is a tip off that the thing is recording in every version I’ve seen.
-None have a net connection to secure against deletion/destruction if discovered.
-LEOs are catching onto AV-pens as they are being marketed to LEOs as protection against he said/he said complaints.

In a free society those cops would be in jail faster than you could recite the first and fourth amendments. They’d never be allowed to serve in any public capacity, assuming they ever got out. I swear they’re trying their damnedest to start a war.
