I worked with Dave at our college paper. Cool that he's doing an AMA. As a crime reporter in one of the not-most-dangerous cities in America (Anderson, SC), I can vouch that a lot of what he's saying applies elsewhere but it's good to hear it from a guy in the thickest of it. Keep up the good work, DH! - Mike

Edit - to clarify that I'm the reporter in SC.

What can you say about the use of phones to record police? Is that going to become ubiquitous? Will it help? And, while noting the great ACLU guides to photo rights, what is the best way to exercise those valuable rights in a way that is respectful toward police?
