This decision by CBS prompts me to distrust CBS and to choose not to use CBS or its subsidiaries to get my news. I do not Support the right of CBS to decide what CBS will and will not say because I like and trust CBS, I support the right of CBS to decide what CBS will and will not say because I like having the right to decide what I will and will not say.
I'll complain when they make me carry the teacher with me. I don't get why the boundary here is so hard to see for people who don't want to see it... wait... Never mind.
I'm perfectly happy for an employer to track my whereabouts while I'm at work. Any time I decide I don't want to be tracked, I can simply resign. It's quite another thing for a government run institution, which certain people are required to attend, to require it. Your pretense that there is no distinction between a freely contracted arrangement between free persons and the coercive power of the government is flat dishonest.
If you want to identify yourself and your location to your masters, no one is stopping you. Requiring people to do so is the stuff of totalitarianism: leave me out of it thanks ever so much.
RTFS: "The article notes that the Deputy in question basically told the guy he was arrested for being a "buttinski" and recording someone in the midst of a violent mental health breakdown. Supposedly the footage was deleted from the camera while in police custody."
You might want to examine what the law actually says about disorderly conduct. It does not, in fact, mean "suspect failed to follow a police order requiring suspect to destroy evidence of police misconduct"
The best way to counter this is with more information. You don't counter this by giving the state the authority to confiscate and destroy recordings that the state or its agents find inconvenient.
If the police are dragging someone out of their home, holding the police accountable for their actions is still important. Good luck getting official recordings out of police hands if police misconduct is alleged.
What police officers are trying to do when they arrest and file bullshit charges against videographers who record their actions is suppressing attempts to hold police officers accountable. Public accountability for the police is not something that should be "balanced" against other concerns because the moment you attempt to balance police accountability, you're going to find a cops finger on the scales.
The police already have dash cam videos and the sanctity of police testimony on their side. They don't need the protection of members of the public recording them and recordings made by members of the public that are inconvenient cannot be made to disappear.
I suspect that if you hit the pilot with this thing, it will kill him instead of blinding him. That would not violate the convention so it's all good:/ The laws of war always make for somewhat surreal discussions.

Freedom of the press means that only CBS gets to decide what CBS says.
My god you are dumb.
what, corporations only own the Republicans?

If that's "utopia", they can have it.
I suspect a ground laser emplacement, with suitable camouflage, would be more difficult to spot than an airborne target. Particularly if it's mobile.
