Yes, hypocritical yes. But I do have relatively low morals.

As a side note, the fact that in America you interview lifers (Manson/Cassio/whoever) and broadcast it on TV is absolutely bizarre. I’m from England, to do that in the UK, it would be unthinkable. The same as all of Europe I would think.

If someone killed a bunch of people then was allowed to do interviews on TV... people would be storming the TV studios.

I’m not saying it’s moral or immoral, but what is interesting is the cultural phenomenon thereof. In America, everything is game for the screen.

All of the publicly available footage (not classified or bathroom related) should be available to everyone on the web. It would be the world's greatest reality tv show.

Every single public official, whether state or federal, city, local whatever, every government or municipal employee should while at work, on the job be wearing at all times, without the ability to turn off, full 360° audio and video.

This includes Presidents, Senators, Congress persons etc.

If it is bathroom related, the computer ai, classifies it and seals it but it is still saved in the database.

If it is Classified info, National Security it is also sealed but saved.

We need to hold them all accountable and this is the solution.

No more backroom deals. No more corruption. No more judicial, prosecutorial, or official police misconduct. Full financial accountability, no more lazy workers.

Keep it separate from the private side of things and we will have a good start towards a better future.

i don't know all about way back but since camera phones came out they've banned phones in the courthouses of most big cities because people were using the cameras to take pics of witnesses for retaliation, things of that nature.

in my city usually the closest store to the courthouse will hold your phone for a buck while you're in there, what a hustle :lol:

That's exactly the point. You'd have to go to the Graveyard to learn about that nonsense.

How's it going Maxi?

I think you should change your name to serial stalker because the only thing you seem to do is go through threads looking for people to attack.

Having said that, what's your expert opinion on cameras in the courtroom? At the very least it would leave you salivating at the thought of seeing an actual "mob" trial live as it happens.
Why are you attacking him after he asked that question?

"Interestingly, it may be that the FBI changed the policy not to promote fairness and accuracy, but to promote convictions. One of the justifications for changing the policy was that jurors were not being supplied a strong piece of evidence against the defendants – a videotaped confession from the defendant. This was particularly a problem in certain cases, such as sexual abuse and violent crime cases. If the justification for the policy change was to promote convictions, then one might wonder how often interrogations are actually being recorded and whether it is only in cases when the FBI believes it will help with conviction."
Noteworthy to mention... the FBI star witness in numerous cases, Al Darco was caught many times contradicting his own FBI 302’s. And had said the FBI always gets it wrong and messes up the interview information. If it were videotaped we could have seen if it was Darco or FBI lying.
And also, now that I'm listening more to Dominick's podcast, putting in cameras isn't for media purposes but as a part of court record, not for the media to broadcast.
