...people who'd like to videograph themselves playing with their kids or pets. Holding a camera in front of your face gets in the way of that kind of spontaneity, and a stationary camera on a tripod wouldn't be much use for following action.
I don't know the current status of a couple states that have tried to make recording of officers in public a crime.
Illinois and Massachusetts. Both have had cases go to their highest state courts, which defended the right to video officers on duty under the First Amendment. In both states they tried to appeal to their respective US district courts, and both US courts agreed with the state ruling and refused to accept the appeals. As far as I know the laws still stand anyway.
From a relatively brief inside view, it's being spent on and by the usual assortment of clueless suits. Got a sudden windfall earmarked for "tech?" Well, uh, who do we know that does computery things? Let's contact the only company we've heard of and not bother asking any of those nerds we pay to do tech stuff. Hey Mr Gates, we've got a ton of money we don't know what to do with, can you help us spend it?
Yeah, it went pretty much like that. And the greasy salesmen were soon swarming all over sniffing out any perfectly functional and robust systems they could find to replace with PCs in rackmount cases. They never did work right. I'm sure the suits were happy with whatever kickbacks they got, and their ability to point at shiny new boxes and proudly show off how well they modernized things.
You can't have representatives of the State killing innocents and then just saying "Whoops, my bad" and then throwing money at the family.
Then you'll be pleased to know they don't do that. Rather, they give the representatives in question a paid vacation while the chief works out a version of the events that complies with department policies and returns a report that no evidence of wrong-doing was found.
As a bonus, they may find reasons to arrest and charge any survivors.
TFA also says the CDAA opposed it as well, for being "too vague." This could be a genuine issue. For one, it could have unintended secondary effects (such as being open enough to be abused in ways it was never intended), or itself be ruled unconstitutional for being too wide-sweeping in its vagueness. This is just speculation for now as I try to dig up more info.
For that matter, I'm not sure of the utility of a state law reaffirming the Constitution's constitutionality. But it could be interesting to see what this one dissenter is all about.
Well unfortunately, whether intentionally or not, by criticizing only one side you're implicitly exculpating the other by omission. Same had you only mentioned Bush, since both have played their parts in this issue. Not that I disagree with what you said, only that you may have muddied your message with that closing paragraph. Consider this a stylistic suggestion rather than an argument.
Yeah, the ad hominem was uncalled for. That doesn't make him right though. Cognition is a complex field, and "my species can beat up your species" serves no purpose in understanding either species.
And btw, orcas aren't near relations to dolphins, they are dolphins.
Apologies for the insult, was pissed about something else when I came across your comment, and "x species is smarter than y species" is one of my pet peeves.

Oh, whew. Just garden variety mindcrime then. For a moment I was afraid it was something truly Orwellian.
Eyup, caught me as well. I even still have some Heathkit gear kicking around here.
My '92 Sun IPX is still running. And I think I paid about $20 for it.

If a branch of government is going to do gross Constitutional violations, I think I'd prefer they were terrible at it. Maybe that's just me though.
It's antinonunirregardless. Jeez, where do you people learn English?
99% of the problem could be stopped if [...] all such seizures to go to the federal government, not to any local fund.

You do realize you're already being recorded on their dashcam any time you're pulled over, right?

We are spending a river now. Where is it going?

I wasn't trying to imply that orcas aren't intelligent. My objection was over the irrelevant ranking.

Aww, and you were doing so well right up until you had to do the red-vs-blue baiting.

I'd warrant that both are more intelligent than you, even though I know better than to suggest intelligence is a linear scale.
