#CopChat Smile… you’re on camera

No one can argue the value of video in almost everything around us nowadays.  You can’t turn around it seems without seeing an advisory that you are in the vicinity of surveillance cameras, see someone with a camera, emailed a video from YouTube, etc, etc, etc.

Video is all around us and with very good reason.  It captures the entirety of an event; or does it?

Some video comes without sound, some comes without a beginning, some without an end and all is generally from a fixed perspective.  So is video really all that good? Can it be relied upon?

Sure a great quality picture, fantastic video in hi-def from beginning to end without edits and without the subjects ever leaving the frame would be the pinnacle, but even then, there’s no smell, no other perspective than what’s on the screen…even then, is it really worth the weight we put into it?

Join us at 9pm Eastern Time / 6pm Pacific Time for the fastest hour on Twitter… #copchat, where we’ll be talking everything video.
