April 15, 2011: Vallejo, CA Police try to confiscate cell phone video of arrest (Cropped)

The purpose of this video post is to show how your video should look before listing it publicly; stabilized and cropped.

Good digital hygiene when uploading media onto the Internet is recommended because it's difficult to watch videos sideways and not everyone watches videos from iPhones or iPads. While it is acceptable practice to publish using the raw video upload method in order to expedite communication; YouTube's video editing features include motion stabilization to reduce or eliminate camera-shake associated with standard body movement while freely aiming a recording device (aka: memory enhancer).

[Excerpt]
(Laura Anthony Reporting)
Lonnel Duchine was in the garage of his Vallejo home Saturday when he recorded the arrest of some juveniles in his neighborhood from his cell phone. Duchine says he and a friend were working in the garage when they heard sirens...
"As a citizen, a law-abiding citizen, I'm a notary, I'm a mental health administrator, and I feel like I was very much violated," said Duchine.
Vallejo police tell ABC7 that it is unlikely they will actually formally file any charges against Duchine. As for the police action that occurred on the street that Saturday, it turns out the young people the police stopped were not the robbery suspects they officers were looking for. They, too, were released.
