Unfortunately you will also have people that only want to make their 15 minutes of fame at the expense of someone else.
How many staged fights have been broadcast, as well as violent protester outbreaks have been "caught on camera" that may have been manipulated for some possible gain?

As with everything in life, moderation is the key!

I don't know... have any examples?

Let's also consider the number of people that have been set free due after trumped up charges were later dropped because someone was able to film the incident?

The biggest difference today is that now the average citizen has just as much chance to conduct surveillance on Big Brother and the media.

Good point!

Another problem we all probably encounter on a regular basis is somone, ANYONE that thinks they own the road. We all know these types that probably cause more accidents than their parents did (when they had them) and will ALWAYS claim that the other person is at fault.

I hope that I never devolve to that state, as it definitely is a lower form of life!

As for the rest of us just stay safe, keep a clear head and key an eye out for the idiots!!
