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.
Why do we have to prove anything to you, anyway? If you want to live in your insular bubble with your eyes closed, so be it.
If you want to see for yourself, though, type some words into a search engine and...voila. Stop asking for us to do your research simply because you're too lazy to do it yourself (your ignorance on the matter is inviting the hostility, by the way. My apologies; someone would have said it to you eventually.).
"I wonder what happens if you inform a cop that you are recording him when he pulls you over."
Simple: the officer in question politely requests that you turn over your cell phone/camera, stomps it into tiny pieces, THEN beats the living shit out of you.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
