Hi there....
I am going to be starting going to protests again after years or not doing any more....well im sick of being angry and just boring my family waxing lyrical about stuff so im gonna shout at the police instead l;ol.
anyway Pigs an protesting...they can get a bit vicious, camcorders have been used by the filth for years to convict rioters, and in the past few years have been increasingly used by protesters themselves to film the actions of the police-leading to several prosecutions of protestors being thrown out of court. This has led to the sitiuation now that anyone at a demo seen with a camera camcorder who isnt a pig gets automatically arrested, for the purposes of taking the tape/wiping the internal memory. My frined was at a demo last uyear filming he was arrested, taken to avan and searched, and given his broken cam back and de-arrested in 2 minutes flat when 2 pigs were assaulting a woman(one hit her in the face and the other repeatedly batered her knees and shins with his asp) one of the pigs had seen him filming it and so they had him.
He wasnt charged,the woman who had the shit beaten out of her was never arrested even..
Now my question is regarding the possibility of filiming on dv camera, and by using a mobile phone/laptop/pda to beam the footage back to a remote location-ie a house nowhere near the demo....
basically is it do-able and if so is the equipment exppensive.....

ill be wearing a big sandwich borad that says """attention pigs, my footage of your bad behaviour has been beamed to a safe location so taking my camera wont help""" lol ....... Also, could the computer be pre-programmed to email the file as soon as the feed shuts down for whatever reason to multiple backup addresses just in case.
Cheers in advance for anyone who can help.

yea it can be done
you need some equipment though, Laptop to recieve the footage and a camera to transmit the footage and some wireless equipment to send and recieve the footage

you could use a modified wireless security camera that are available everywhere these days
they can send the picture up to 300ft to a reciever that can be linked to a networked DVR (digital video recorder)
then it can be sent via the internet to where ever you want or even live streamed via a web site

stick one of these on top of a hat and where ever you look thats where the camera will point
they also work at night or in very low light

Harry, I can't help with the technical issues but I would advise against the sandwich sign. I think it's a great idea but you will stand out like a sore thumb and possibly seen as a threat that needs to be dealt with immediately. You could end up being one of the first beaten, I mean arrested and taken away so as to remove the threat. Plus you know as well I about the size of cop's egos. Maybe a regular protest sign and a smaller one about the DV they can see as they get closer. Just a thought, stay safe, good luck.
