Ron - I have saved this as a new revision. I'm happy to talk about this, feel free to write back to me in another color.
Line: 73 to 73
 I think that the last section is the most convincingly argued by far. You address many of the problems that come with using videos for evidence, namely the lack of context, poor views and only one perspective, and you give concrete examples to back this up. I know that we're all short on time, but if this is something that really interests you, I'd recommend expanding this one section and giving a bit more in-depth analysis as opposed to trying to touch on so many issues (perhaps post finals). I'd definitely read it.

Don't know if you encountered it in Civ Pro, but the Supreme Court grappled with similar issues recently in Scott v. Harris.~Shawn \ No newline at end of file

>		 Shawn - that was one of the issues in Scott v. Harris, but I think the big issue was whether the justices of the Supreme Court could definitively state that the Scott's actions were reasonable. From what I understand, the concerns weren't about whether the video could be trusted, rather, they were about whether the justices should be reviewing video evidence given their role and their disconnect from the "real" world.
