Are Cameras the New Guns?

Yeah, it isn't as if he had her on the ground beating the shit out of her. She interfered with a police officer doing his job, and he used a very swift and efficient punch to deal with her rather than start fighting with her like he was fighting with her friend. He was just doing his job, IMO. Anyone stupid enough to try to help their friend that is being arrested/dealt with by a cop by getting between said friend and said cop deserves a punch to the face.

I guess this could technically fall into this thread.

Remember a little while back of that leaked video showing the military chopper gunning down civilians? Yeah, well the soldier that was involved in leaking the video is now going to be charged.

The U.S. military said Tuesday it is pressing criminal charges against Pfc. Bradley E. Manning, 22, for allegedly transferring classified data onto his personal computer and adding unauthorized software to a classified computer system. Manning of Potomac, Maryland, is suspected of leaking a classified 2007 video of an Apache helicopter strike that killed 12 civilians in Baghdad, including two journalists from the Reuters wire service, the military said. Manning was deployed with the 2nd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division, in Baghdad, Iraq, according to the military. According to Wired.com, Manning leaked the video to the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.com, which posted the video in April. Wired.com reported that Manning confessed to the leak in a series of online chats with a former computer hacker. He allegedly owned up to leaking other items to WikiLeaks, including a classified Army document assessing the threat level of the website, according to the article, as well as State Department cables.

Exposing the truth? How dare you! We press charges!
Damn those Lawful Evils. That's as bad as it gets, is Lawful Evil.

Here's a scary read today.

Court allows agents to secretly put GPS trackers on cars

Law enforcement officers may secretly place a GPS device on a person's car without seeking a warrant from a judge, according to a recent federal appeals court ruling in California. Drug Enforcement Administration agents in Oregon in 2007 surreptitiously attached a GPS to the silver Jeep owned by Juan Pineda-Moreno, whom they suspected of growing marijuana, according to court papers. When Pineda-Moreno was arrested and charged, one piece of evidence was the GPS data, including the longitude and latitude of where the Jeep was driven, and how long it stayed. Prosecutors asserted the Jeep had been driven several times to remote rural locations where agents discovered marijuana being grown, court documents show.

This is horrible. This is not a good thing whatsoever.They may as well implant chips into our bodies at birth.

It's not so secret, if the news gets out.
That's like saying "D3V, I'm going to +rep your next comment, but you don't know that".

Certain personalities seek out certain types of jobs most of the time. Cops are either people who want to help people or people who want to control people imo. I'm not always sure the former is more common than the latter.

That's why we need Power Rangers.
