Citizens Spy On Big Brother
An anonymous reader writes "Citizens of the world are striking back at 24/7 state surveillance by pulling out their cameraphones and filming inept officials, deadly healthcare lapses and thuggish cops. So-called Sous-veillance is seeing more and more people posting damning footage of official misdemenours to sites such as YouTube to shame them into action." I wonder what happens if you inform a cop that you are recording him when he pulls you over.
Oh, I'm sure they won't care, when they searched for expectation of privacy on Google, they found out there was none.

Please half of you guys never get out of the house let alone get pulled over!
Beats me
What's funny is at first I assumed your were answering the question as opposed to admitting ignorance.

A hasty repreive!; My hypothetical weave
does you an injustice. (And speaking of justice)
Enough of confession: let's return to my question.
I got impression of obsession with oppression.
Is this a true fact, or idle digression?
Would recording your good self be found a transgression?
Am I a free man?
or need I grab my tape, my cape and escape?'
They're only jealous because we lefties are the only ones in our right minds.

What are you, some kind of Godwin's Law Nazi? You know, Hitler was always accusing people of pushing the boundaries of Godwin's Law.

Gentlemen...welcome to Soviet Russia.
Ok, I no longer understand your naiveté.
Well.. maybe. Or Maybe not. But Definitely not sort of.
Everyone is spying on everyone else, eh? Are they going to start printing the newspapers in invisble ink? :D
I demand the cone of silence!
Bow-ties are cool.
And after the cops find out that they have been remotely recorded...

How many in the Slashdot crowd would quit their jobs to be a police officer? It is a low paid profession....
Not when you count the income from bribes....
