If I understand everything correctly, and interesting precedent has been set here where the curator of a mobile app marketplace like HP or Apple bears legal responsibility for the content of 3rd party app developers.

Yeah, I like that idea too. The only problem is I don't think most police officers are hourly, I think they are salaried, so it really doesn't matter if they clock in or out.

That's like saying you were taught 'male' science because it sounds like your teacher was a guy; or 'Republican' science if he was also a member of the GOP. It doesn't matter what the person practicing science might believe; testing objective reality is the whole point of science. If you didn't come away from your…

Lol, "liberal" science...if you think something as objective as science can be liberal or conservative; I don't know how valuable those science classes were to you.

Animal planet also had that disappointing crockumentary about Mermaids that was a similar format: completely fake but designed to look real with a disclaimer at the end of the credits that it was all fake. It's so disappointing that this is where the money is for these networks.

How about the 'fire on cloaked ships' torpedo from Star Trek VI? That never got used again (though it was the last film in the TOS movies).

I suggest a new word:
Hyperbole + Literally —> Literbole

The way you handle scaling the rocket up to have enough fuel to get to orbit is with stages. The interesting thing about SpaceX's design philosophy is that each stage is supposed to have this kind of capability so that it can lift the rest of the rocket to a certain height; fall back toward earth for a while, then…

Which is why I didn't respond to the article itself; but to the comment that suggested the police would not be able to turn them off. Next to the posters name on a comment is a little gray arrow which points to the person the comment was directed towards; if it's not the author of the post (Mario Aguilar in this case)…

That's ridiculous; I don't have to support PRISM to think that putting 'always on' cameras on police would be inappropriate. Quite to the contrary: what does it say about you if you would strip away basic human dignities (like going to the bathroom without being recorded) from people just because they chose a career…

And you're right about another thing, putting a badge on would not have transformed you into someone who craves respect; but did you ever think that the fact that you don't crave respect played a role in your decision not to go into law enforcement?

Maybe, but the ones who don't have issues with authority and respect are probably not the ones we need to worry about abusing said authority.

The animated Clone Wars series that aired on Cartoon Network

So...all those examples I gave of why it wouldn't work? Did you have another idea for how to deal with those?

But seriously; if police had an on/off switch on their badge, where there was no reason to show them respect (the thing police crave) when they are off, they are almost never going to turn it off.

There's no…

I understand that; but I am suggesting changing that to allow officers personal privacy while forcing them to keep their cameras on when they aren't taking personal time like eating lunch or making a personal call or using the bathroom.

You can't put 'always on' cameras on police officers, it would be too invasive. Every time they made a personal phone call, every time they spoke to someone in confidence, every time they went to the bathroom, there would be a public record of it. What they SHOULD do it create a policy where police officers are only…

Also, half robot Darth Maul? Gee, if only someone else had thought of that:

Episode 1 actually was a good movie (not great); it's just that Episodes IV,V, and VI were fan-fucking-tastic

Oh, and the video should be streamed to a 3rd party (NOT employed by the police department, but still a local or state government agency) who would manage requests for video or requests for video to be destroyed for privacy reasons.

I'm sorry, but am I the only one who fails to see how police having cameras that they use at their discretion would in any way help the problem of abusing stop-and-frisk laws (or any other laws)? What's to stop the police from just turning off the camera every time they want to abuse their power?

If we really want to…
