Not that it helps the victims but maybe we need a bunch of falsely abused and detained reporters able to afford significant lawsuits.

I like to think I’d stand up and do it, but I’m white and in a state where we don’t often have such conflict.

I mean we do, you can’t avoid it with the current administration. However it’s just not as often. Actually a couple of weeks ago one of my city councillors was roughly detained for videoing a gang of masked thugs depriving people of their rights. However while I don’t think it’s as simple as racism, he is Hispanic and that clearly makes a difference

You can buy body cameras that you can hide in a button front shirt, or on the collar of a t shirt

being around police officers of any kind isn't safe but you can film them as much as you want

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 57 points 2 days ago

They asked for "masked armed men" not police officers.

The law only gets you compensation after the abuse and destruction ends. If anything.

to add to this, 'you can beat the charges but you can't beat the ride' is a saying coined by our american police, their extrajudicial punishments include rough rides among other cruelty

your rights aren't a shield.

You get shot. See also: several journalists.

I would have a shirt with a hole cut in the breast pocket. Then point a phone camera out while it records.

A few details: you’ll want a busy pattern on the shirt to make the hole less noticeable. You’ll also want an app that can record without easily being stopped (the default camera on my phone can be interfered with just by moving around inside a pocket).

With hidden cameras.

Pretend to be on the phone

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

holds the phone in front of me

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU, SPEAK UP. HELLO? YES I HAVE TO HOLD MY PHONE LIKE THIS, I'M ALLERGIC TO TECHNOLOGY. JUST GO ABOUT YOUR DAILY ROUTINE, DO NOT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THE HAT.

[-] lol_idk@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago

This is often the simplest. I've done it a few times. It helps to practice to know where you're pointing the phone when it's up to your ear. If it's noisy you can plug your other ear with your hand and tilt your head so the video isn't tilted if that matters to you

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
