Hi Belibaste, I'm not quite sure what you would like me to tell, do you just mean explain a little more what the article is about?
The article talks about civilians using tools to watch the state, with particular reference to the recent situation where police were caught on film provoking and hitting Ian Tomlinson, a man who died shortly after at the G20 protests in London. I suppose it is interesting because it is like a role reversal - civilians watching the state. However, I recently found out that new laws were brought in on 16th February, potentially to prevent this kind of action:
There is also this article that discusses the new photography law:

This subject was covered on Sott with articles UK to introduce "photograph a cop, 10 years in jail" law and Is it a Crime to Take Pictures?.
I can think of no other explanation other than the cops are covering their behinds with the recent videos and pictures of police brutality, especially when it was unprovoked.
However, what is even more worrying to me is the fact that there are so many people behind the police and their violent ways. People who are saying that it is the right of the police to be brutal - even without provocation - because of how dangerous their jobs are.
Once again you see the hypnotized people giving away more and more rights because they are blind, hypnotized, asleep.....ah what a rude awakening it will be.

Hi Inti,
Yes it was exactly the purpose of my message and, IMO, you did a good job at summarizing this article you recommended.
Thus other forumites can have a rough idea of the article's content and if they want to know more they can read it in extenso.
So thank you for this summary and the extra information you provided.
