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.

Most parents have a ton of footage of their first child's first steps and first couple of years, but you'll find that most also get sick of that very quickly. I always found it funny to see 40 parents with video cameras at my daughter's school concerts because most of the music really sucked (elementary school) and the kids just mostly looked bored and confused. That kind of crap footage gets dumped and taped over anyway.
