      “But it’s just a few bad apples…” /s

      Like, yeah, maybe. But the expression is “one bad apple spoils the whole barrel”

        Wait, that’s the full expression??

        I thought it was “one bad apples seeds the union before retiring on full pension after paying out victims’ families using tax dollars”

        We should really rethink how we select and train these police if we’ve been using that phrase wrong!

    The republicans in court are going to use the “but the camera is too far away to able to identify police abuse”

      Which is combined with the regular “you don’t know what happened before filming” is even worse.

    Can’t have more videos like the ones that make people angry about our out-of-control police getting out.

    So I wonder who’s going to build a phone with a built in range finder.

      There’s actually a way to do that now.

      Use this filter in the BLE radar app: 00:25:DF:*

      That hex sequence is used exclusively by the taser company who happens to make all of the cameras for almost all of the police.

      It works fairly effectively, it spotted cops for me while I was driving past them on the freeway so I think that’s probably pretty good.

          Taser is a brand name. They make the body cams too. Body cams gave BLE radios. I think the sub brand of the cameras is Axon.

          I’m pretty sure the weapons don’t have any BLE devices in them.

        Interesting topic. Please say more, line what exact app you use? I didn’t see BLE radar but find many like it… Which one is legit

          Sorry about that I didn’t realize that it was listed in the store as Bluetooth radar. The app shows up in the system as BLE radar. Here’s the actual link to the precise app.

          https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=f.cking.software

          Here’s a screenshot of the description in Google Play:

          Here’s a screenshot of the configuration that will find taser branded devices:

          And if you don’t trust the Google Play store you can also find it in the standard F-Droid repository:

        I mean we don’t need to “come up” with anything, just make that asshole face the consequences of his actions…also lock up Cannon, she’s not fit to for public service.

    25 feet is about 9 steps away. Not super terrible, but as the article states, the cop is likely to decide 25 feet is how ever far he says it is.

    I actually agree that there should be some distance on the books, so a cop doesn’t have to worry about getting shoved or attacked or whatever while they’re dealing with someone else, but 25 feet is a bit excessive.
