I would just point out that unlike many states, Massachusetts has two
party consent for audio taping. This means that you must make sure
that the camera is clearly visible if you're recording audio. IANAL,
and this is not legal advice... just be careful on this, as a MA
resident ran into legal trouble for recording (video and audio) between
a police officer and herself in her own home.<br>

<div>Corking, running red lights, and running stop signs; theres a
purpose on why its done. In my opinion, I'd say record. I don't live in
Boston, and attend Rhode Islands CM's, but I love watching boston, SF,
and other peoples rides on youtube, old and recent. </div>

<div>There are vests you can buy that hold a camera right on your

<div>And yes, police officers have been FIRED due to video tapes
being used against them. They had an incidient in NY were an officer
assaulted a critical mass participant, and long and behold, another
CM'er was taping it. The officer was then fired.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>just be careful on who and when you video tape. I have seen
people who video tape arrests, then being arrested themselfs. <br>

<br>
Firstly, looking forward to the next ride in a few days as I have<br>
immensely enjoyed the last four or five.<br>
I've seen several people recording the rides and wonder how people<br>
feel about this.<br>
I actually like seeing the videos and wish there were more online, but<br>
also wonder if others would rather not be documented as we do actually<br>
run red lights and stop signs and "cork" intersections. Being still<br>
quite new to CM rides, is there some kind of general understanding<br>
about recording or photographing? Has a video ever been used as<br>
"evidence" against a participant?<br>
I'm also interested in any recommendations on recording techniques,<br>
what people use, et cetera as I'm not terribly comfortable with a<br>
handheld phone or camera while I ride.<br>
<br>
Secondly, in regards to the incident last month (hope things are going<br>
well for Yoni, any update?) I just found this interesting link via<br>
Boing Boing that I thought I would share:<br>

Has anyone tried recording wirelessly, instantly streaming and
archiving online?<br>
Could have been extremely helpful.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
