I think the fact that we are able to record everything that happens and automatically upload it seriously outweighs what you are saying.

The only reason cops get in trouble is only because people are filming. If it's not caught on camera, it didn't happen in the eyes of the law if it's just our word against a cops.

It’s your life. This advice is important in more active circles. There are also jobs that should be given out. Just like there are medics that come out, there should be journalists—in leftist action circles, this isn’t EMTs and NBC photographers. See what I’m saying?

It’s ultimately your choice. But depending on what’s happening, the cause, the state, the cops, the current state of the govt of the country, etc., this advice can literally be invaluable.

For 200-250$ you can get very decent used compact cameras (like the RX 100). It won't upload the photos immediatly, but it is still pretty much on par with most current cell phones.
