The Web as Police Watchdog

John P.

November 14, 2006 By John P.

Video CameraThe Internet continues to change the world as people learn how powerful having an equal voice can be. As a prime example, ordinary citizens have begun to employ the tools of the web to act as a watchdog against government exceeding it’s bounds. As an example see CopWatchLA.org.

One area seeing rapid growth is the surveillance of local police officials. It seems that sometimes officers either believe they are omnipotent, or forget that they are paid not only to enforce the laws, but also to exercise appropriate restraint while doing so.

In all fairness to the officers, dealing with criminals is a tough job – especially when they want to drag you down with them. Still, you probably shouldn’t take a job if you are not a good match for the challenges that await you.
