• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Interesting article about recording the police http://reason.com/archives/2010/09/20/how-to-record-the-cops

BoingBoing focused on one fascinating part:

You can record video and/or audio with an Iphone or Android phone... but rather than saving it as a file on your phone it streams back to an online server where it is saved. "There's an app for that" ;)

Considering that police sometimes try to confiscate recording devices, this might be one way to ensure the footage is available for later.
