CEO of ThinkPenguin, Inc arrested for filming police

Ah, the old "contempt of cop" charge. If taxpayers knew or cared how much money is wasted by police acting macho and lording it over citizens even to the extent of violating the law to do so, there might be some actual change in this area.

In my county they opened fire on someone filming the police recently. Turns out having video evidence is the ONLY way a policeman can be wrong.

Where?

Having videos on the police (and anybody with power) is the only good answer to "who is watching the watchers ?". Answer : now everybody. And that's a good thing.

I just bought a wireless card from ThinkPenguin a couple weeks ago. Very pleased with the transaction.
