Who needs a video camera in the UK? They are everywhere ...
IMO there is some good reading and watching in this post. Some (***)
of this was shared by others in another group.
Orwell is spinning... This would make a compelling addition as a sub
plot for a sequal to 1984. Amusing as a plot line for police Academy
28. Great "Reality" TV showcasing the lives and loves of sanitation
engineers.....
In the article, is this nugget: "The tiny covert camera, which has
cost Weymouth and Portland Council, Dorset, up to £10,000".....
Someone's cousin is making a tidy profit off the taxpayers.

Bin bag 'spy camera' to enforce refuse rules
A council is to hide a camera in a bin bag to catch residents who do
not follow new rules about putting out the rubbish.....
To enforce the new rules, a camera will be placed in a rubbish bag and
left in an alleyway to blend in with the surroundings to catch
offenders. Those filmed breaking the rules will be given a ticking off."
I fear the day of a toilet seat cam. I have to admit, I forget to put
it down.
This a trailer for "Every Step You Take"

"I think the film could manage to add fresh perspectives on the
controversial matter of CCTV, which has not yet been thouroughly and
evenly discussed in British mainstream media."
The programme is not yet published, but it will be in the coming days.
Please visit the official website (
Festival for details. We will also post news right here as they become
available."
Now these two are from the UK, in the states we don't have as
many cameras, but it makes you wonder ... for how much longer..
A lot of what you do is documentary in nature. Here is a cool site:

Just a thought for discussion, but I like "The Vow of Chastity"
because it sets ground rules that could be adopted (with
modifications) in the bylaws of a association (if one is to develop)
of responsible "event" vlogging. Especially political events. {MY TWO
CENTS IS ENCLOSED IN THESE}.
The Vow of Chastity <>
"I swear to submit to the following set of rules drawn up and
confirmed by DOGME 95:
1. Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be
brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the story, a
location must be chosen where this prop is to be found).
2. The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice
versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs where the scene is
being shot).
3. The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility
attainable in the hand is permitted. (The film must not take place
where the camera is standing; shooting must take place where the film
takes place).
4. The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable.
(If there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a
single lamp be attached to the camera).
5. Optical work and filters are forbidden.
6. The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons,
etc. must not occur.)
7. Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to
say that the film takes place here and now.)
8. Genre movies are not acceptable.
9. The film format must be Academy 35 mm. {MUST BE CONSUMER VIDEO
CAMERAS}
10. The director must not be credited. {THE DIRECTOR IS A VLOGGER AND
"CAN" BE CREDITED}
Furthermore I swear as a director {Vlogger} to refrain from personal
taste! I am no longer an artist. I swear to refrain from creating a
"work", as I regard the instant as more important than the whole. My
supreme goal is to force the truth out of my characters and settings.
I swear to do so by all the means available and at the cost of any
good taste and any aesthetic considerations.
Thus I make my VOW OF CHASTITY."

I watched Sicko (I know, bad man). BUT. As much as you could argue
about Moore's spin, the majority of the film is straight talk from
people. I keep seeing Sicko listed in comedy for genre. Nothing funny
about it. There should be a new catagorey on Youtube, Sardonic.
