> At any rate, I think helmet use is required for kids in the Netherlands. I'm from the Netherlands, and unfortunately wearing a helmet is not required for anyone. I don't always wear a helmet, for me it depends on the ride. I

About (leaked) data falling in the wrong hands: Dutch municipalities used to register your religion in the early 1900s. Then the Germans invaded and boom. The NAZIs had a list of every jew in the country and the rest is history. About the i

Depends on whether your camera is equipped with an infrared filter. Some older camcorders actually have low-light modes based on infrared or near infrared light. You should be able to use those as well.
