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?

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

It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits.

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:

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.

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.

For anyone who wants to listen to Dominick's podcast on this issue, here's the link to that specific episode:

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.

But yet, you by your previous threads watch and comment on guys like Gravano, etc. A little hypocritical, don't you think? That podcast was about allowing cameras in the courtroom. He's a litigation specialist - that's what he does.

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