IMHO, the Copwatch people should be much more discreet and record their video while reminding other people that they have a camera with them at all times (generally, in the case of mobile phones anyway) and their first reaction upon seeing police interacting with a person should be to video"tape" it to protect EVERYONE'S interest...the police, the person, and the public at large. Once the police learn that the days of misconduct are over, they can go back to being professional public servants and protectors the way they are supposed to be. Oh, and...very nice "you are there" article, kind of somewhere between bloggy and "real journalism".

iadam, just because you disagree with gun ownership does not make gun owners patent idiots...or voters, for that matter.
