Re Google Glass:
Do you think that security forces would be less able to violate your rights if all interactions with them recorded? Alternatively, do you think video logs of interactions with oppressive security forces might spark public outrage in a way that mere eyewitness testimony would not?
- sitkack 13y agoOnce it came to light that they were recorded, I would think they would slap an additional wiretapping violation and then move to have the video evidence suppressed.

- maxwell 13y agoIn the States, the Supreme Court hasn't opposed recording of police officers (so far): http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-supreme-court-rejects-plea-to-prohibit-taping-of-police-20121126,0,686331.story http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-suprem... Video is becoming mightier than violence.
- spiritplumber 13y agoYes. There's no he-said-she-said when a camera is involved. A securista can always claim institutional authority to have their word count more than yours, but they can't do that against a video file. If they do, and get away with it, then we have a deeper problem.
