Breaks my heart thinking about all the innocent victims that aren’t lucky enough to be exonerated like this :/
It sucks that they turned this into a story about how great mass surveillance is
In fairness, the mass surveillance is just more evenly distributed when civilian dashcams are proliferated.
I’m a lot more ok with many people having non internet connected dashcams than one corporation having continuous access to a giant network of cameras
Surveillance apologists like to make the argument that “in public you have no expectation of privacy.” But what they don’t seem to understand is that having centralized networks of cameras (and especially ones hooked up to things like facial recognition databases) creates a whole new third level that goes beyond merely “in public” and instead becomes a panopticon.
“In public” a person might remember seeing you at a certain time and location, but that doesn’t mean they can trace back your whole location history along with that of everyone who was ever near you at some point along it and feed it into a computer looking for suspicious patterns. When somebody tries to follow you closely enough to do that, we call it “stalking” and it’s a crime.
But somehow once thing “X” becomes “X, but with a computer” lawmakers think it’s magic or some shit and previously-criminal stuff suddenly becomes A-OK! So now everybody is being criminally stalked by Ring (i.e. Amazon), Nest (i.e. Google), etc., and too many people are too computer-illiterate to even begin to grasp what a massive problem that is.
Flock “Safety”
Mass surveillance is here to stay, but the fun part is we can mass surveillance right back.
Still not ok, when there is no downside for lying on a police report. Not everyone will be lucky enough to get dashcam footage contradicting four police offices conspiring to lie

Nationality matters not
Cops kill.
Cops lie.Hopefully that leg break was a severe one.
Dorner did nothing wrong
For TWO WEEKS
From the preview tab, looks like it might be the cop who kicked a moving car and broke his leg? I won’t watch the ad YT is shoving at me and don’t care enough to download the video using a workaround. Either way, fuck cops.
It’s actually a brutal leg break…
I like your style, Comrade!
Yeah don’t watch. I’m usually fine with gore videos but this leg break is something I feel. I didn’t need that footage rattling around in my brain
“real time conviction”
Wait, wait, wait. When the video starts showing the constable, he is already holding his leg out in front of him, as if to force the driver to stop. No kicking motion can be seen in the video. So it’s legal to just hit someone who is holding his leg out in front of your car (however stupid that may be), injure him seriously and then just drive away?!
You don’t get to jump out in front of a moving vehicle, then claim they ran you down.
Ok but don’t you at least have to stop and check on the injured person? I mean even if it’s an accident, you’re obliged to stop and help, aren’t you? Is that just a Europe thing? I’m not American, but it would seem like a very basic rule to agree on.
Maybe, but we don’t even know whether he knew the guy injured himself. Sure he was guilty of being impatient and ignoring the person directing traffic so I’m sure it’s consistent to keep going, but why would you even check on someone who kicks your car and falls down. Heck, it’s behind you in your blind spot, it would be all too easy to not even see
No most of us sane drivers do. This guy was %100 in the wrong and breaking the law and is a cock wagon for doing so…but the cop is also a peace of shit for trying to ruin this persons life for an injury he caused himself.
Is it me or does the legal analyst at 1:25 in the video bear an uncanny resemblance to John Waters?
