This is why I like to ask for video footage: http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/25/us/new-york-albany-assaults/index.html

Cameras are a wonderful tool, they are witnesses that can't have an agenda. Not long ago, they helped bring to justice someone who had violated the first amendment rights of student journalists at a Missouri campus: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/02/25/melissa-click-fired-by-university-missouri.html

They've also helped put a murderer behind bars: http://abcnews.go.com/US/walter-scott-shooting-breaking-witness-video-frame-frame/story?id=30159871

 

Cameras are a typical feature of your everyday smart phones and those are everywhere nowadays. As a result, I'm optimistic that when it comes to criminal or civil cases, we'll rely less on pure testimony alone, we'll encounter less 'he said-she said' cases, and more issues will be resolved by allowing the cameras to do all the talking.

The first case would have been ugly if it were true.

Good thing it was exposed big time!



I don't have a smart phone, the CSIS is probably already listening on my wife's iPhone anyway.
Download the app now http://csis.org/mobile How gullible do they think we are... (I guess that app is to spy on Americans :p)

Thank science for the end of privacy.

No need.
When I go out I prefer to travel light and not be reachable and I have no interest in staying in touch with twitter or facebook.
This site is plenty waste of time already. I used to have one, only used it to take pictures. Now when I want to take pictures I take a small $100 camera and save the $80 monthly subscription fee here on smart phones.

I actually think this is a healthy attitude.



I love it when camera proof completely exposes big fat fucking liars.
