Little Brother Is Watching Big Brother
-
In Texas and in other places across the country, a group of folks has appointed itself the watchdogs over police activity -- in Texas, they're extreme anti-government folks, of the radical-libertarian almost-sovereign type (and the same guys who open carry in shopping malls and other places that scare the sh-t out of people there), but in Berkeley, they're leftists who want the police to be disarmed -- and they're videotaping traffic stops and other police activity, posting it to YouTube. The police are not pleased to have people watching everything they do, but, well, it IS legal. And whatever the motivation, the public does have a right to the information. On the other hand, if someone watched everything YOU do at work, could you even do your job? It's not a simple case of good vs. bad. (Los Angeles Times)
