If you don't get video, it didn't happen - Liberty, protests

I doubt the local cable channel here would be interested.

Unless ... there is demand.

agreed

[conspiracy777]

I agree. People expect video of proof that something actually happened. They don't really just take print reporting as truth anymore .... I guess I can't blame them in some ways. So many people have a voice on the net that it has become more of a "he said, she said" thing.

Great points, Dave.

Great post, I shall purchase a camcorder right away, though I'm in Britain and it's REALLY fucking hard to film anything here. Anyone know what the law is on this and where I can read the WHOLE thing? I don't have the internet much so a link would be appreciated.

[joneselius]

I don't know if there's a law, I'm sure there isn't.

Please don't say "You guys", I'm not part of any collective, I merely live in a society of people who make decisions for their own personal profit, I'm not part of it, I am just ruled by it.

well well since the police and the fbi and the cia and homeland security and walmart film us we will film them filming us film them.

[singlespeak]

Excellent post.

[silentthriller]

Ok. I volunteer to carry my camcorder everywhere I go and have it at the ready when I move to Keene.

[Harrison3377]

good points

[MooseOfReason]

YouTube it or it didn't happen.

Hehehe.

Sometimes when your INVOLVED in an event you don't always have the hands free to record it. Having said that, I bring/wear a 2 Hour "clip camera" to events and usually keep it in my car/pocket in the event of a traffic stop (etc.). Quality of a clip cam is better than cell phones and mine has an audio only mode too. The cam I got is called a "Ucorder" -- there are probably better/cheaper ones now? - mine was about $70 off eBay. Quality for distant shots is fair/poor - closeup is better.

People think Amerika is free! LOL

Dave, you are a beacon of liberty and what you do with your videos is a great benefit to the liberty movement.

Watch what Judge Andrew Napolitano has to say about cameras/video in the following video segment from 3 minutes 20 seconds to 3 minutes 55 seconds: watch?v=UCx-D1jJm5g#t=3m20s I'll post another reply with the text of what he said in that video.

[john2knj]

Napolitano: The camera is the new gun. Filming the government and showing its excesses and showing its utter ignorance of the Constitution which every person who works for the government has taken an oath to uphold, will have massive effect. And we of course who believe in your civil liberties and your right not to be stopped by the government absent some demonstrable evidence of criminal activity will make sure that this tape, lets just say, will be seen by a great number of people.
