Cellphone cameras/videos!

It has made everything PUBLIC, "safer". I say they should put a forward looking camera on bluetooth earpieaces. With remote trigger. Silent, cheap, concealableish.

Make it happen.

2. Sorry, but I think such a proliferation of cameras is a detriment to our society
Sure, they can be used to catch the actions of police, but they can also be used to embarrass and endanger people as well. I find them to be a double edged sword that we can do without.

4. I referred to mobile cameras. Fixed ones should have their lights punched out.

7. Like that is going to happen anytime soon,
Yet we, immature, unready humans, keep play with sharp pointy things, and doing massive amounts of damage.

3. It will bring whole new meaning to the terse inquiry, "what are you looking at?"

8. Are there legal challenges to those laws that make it illegal to film cops
Edited on Thu Nov-24-11 11:36 AM by annabanana
when they are out in public doing their jobs? I know that a couple of states and several municipalities have these laws on the books.
