Caught on Film – Police Misconduct and Brutality

June 1, 2007

I’ve seen a ton of videos out there that show officers giving someone the beat down during the commission of a crime, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

Speed Trap Proof: Cops Are Out to Get You

March 23, 2007

A study just released from George Mason University’s economics department has finally proven what everyone always sort of just knew.

Imagine this… you’re a rookie cop staking out the mean streets of the Atlanta Convention Center where the raucous American Historical Association is holding their “Annual Meeting”.

Your Rights When Interacting with Police

December 30, 2006

In the new era of citizen reporting there are a number of new questions regarding issues such as audio and video recording interactions with police officials. Add these to the traditional questions about what is required, or not, and you’ve got one very confused public. After all the publicity about police abuse of power I [...]

Mapping Botched Police Raids

November 30, 2006

Did you know that even if you’re an 80 year old god-fearing woman, if the police kick your door in at 2am and kill you, you have no recourse so long as some criminal drug using informant previously swore that there were drugs in your home?
