I'm a defense attorney, one of the most common problems I run into is the he-said-she-said of some arrests. Video and audio recordings would negate that (to some degree), but some officers I know are reluctant to be "on" all the time. Do you think the pros of police recordings outweigh whatever cons there are? For that matter, what is the downside?

I thought, surely this guy created the username just for that joke. Nope, redditor for 3 months. I salute you.

It always struck me as unfair when publishers show a game with amazing graphics at E3 for their game (e.g. Aliens Colonial Marines or Watchdogs), and then the actual graphics are much less brilliant later when the game is released. Does this kind of bait-and-switch advertising have legal implications for companies - especially for people who preorder a game based on the strength of those E3 performances?

MADD has been known to send members to courts to pressure judges into finding DUI defendants guilty. The founder of MADD has walked away from the organization - originally well intended - for becoming too Prohibitionist. In my state, people who refuse a breath test still have to attend a MADD panel meeting even if they're not guilty of DUI - a law MADD of course lobbied for and they also get a fee for those meetings (all refusal and DUI cases).
