As much as the right likes to infiltrate left based and popular based protests and then begin some violent mischief, there is a new foil to that long standing meme.
Basically if you do something, people are going to film it from many angles and you will get identified.
I like it.
The revolution might not get televised, but it might very well get seen on Youtube.

Story in the paper this morning about the trooper who ran the light and caused a crash, the city cop behind him had a video of the statie going into the intersection against the light without lights on, causing the crash, which the statie denied. They were keeping it covered up.
Good that everyone has a camera with them to keep law enforcement in line. They are being watched and I'm sure there are fewer headbashings. All cops should have helmet and car cams on all the time, no questions.
Yeah, who knew right. Everybody has a camera now, its just a matter of using it. Behavior changes when it becomes clear that the world is watching.
