Crows Lead Way For Free Speech

posted Thursday, 4 October 2007
Okay, and now we have "Crow-Cams. "

Not really that much new here; all creatures are intelligent to greater or lesser extent. Anyone who's spent hours sitting watching them knows this. What's new is the technology to enable everyone to see it. Don't overlook the links to different videos taken with the cams.

I see a different application for this technology. These cams transmit in real time to a storage server. That means that if a well-scattered assortment of protesters are wearing these during an action, there will be a well-documented record of the inevitable police abuses that are routinely used to suppress free expression at protest actions. A fourteen-gram camera with a several-hour battery would be ideal for wearing in/on a hat. Any scuffle in the crowd would immediately draw the cameras' gaze from many angles.

The only way to counter the fascist propaganda put out by those who gain from suppressing free expression is to show the video that disproves their lies. Without exception, they claim that protesters are at fault, and start the violence. Those who own their own broadcasting networks (now only including the rich, with rich agendas), show footage that backs their own case that the liberal left is composed mostly of fanatics who provoke the police. What we need is to record the interactions that lead to activists being beaten and jailed

Show me the pictures!
