sometimes on accident..
It's "by accident" (or, as the case may be, "on purpose"). Pet peeve, BTW (primarily due to living among Fundamentalist hicks and imbeciles for the past ten years).
Atheist urbanites and smart people can make the same errors. It's a combination of carelessness and incomplete education.
It obviously didn't and so direct your outrage into action for change. All police departments need a citizen oversight committee stacked with regular folks from the community not members of police officers association. The committee needs full power to review police actions and records and actually fire officers not just make recommendations.
My city has a "citizen oversight committee stacked with regular folks from the community" and for several years, the city "forgot" to convene a meeting. What are the odds that their memory will fail again?
"Before the settlement, the appeals court had kept alive the possibility of a trial because New Hampshire law forbids the recording of police if the authorities order people to disperse for legitimate safety concerns."
So this implies at least they'll have to make up some "legitimate safety concern" which I'm sure they won't have any problem doing.
"There was a legitimate safety concern because the officer believed it to be so, even if he can not describe or recall the threat to safety and eyewitness testimony and physical evidence contradicts his assertions. Case dismissed!"
How it works.
Or to stop someone finding out their son's dead by some moron on YouTube uploading his murder.
Doing that is crass, mean-spirited, morally bankrupt and hateful, but it should not be illegal for those reasons.
If the police orders you to "stop filming" even IF YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DO SO, you are still not following their orders. This ALSO applies to flight attendants. It doesn't matter ONE LITTLE BIT if the order was proper, you ARE guilty of not following it.
The CURRENT "proper way" of doing this is to follow their orders and then file a complaint at the station about the infringement on your rights. And yes, you won't have your videotaped evidence. And yes, police will likely retaliate. And no, the officer won't be immediately fired with cause. You lose.
It is not illegal to refuse to obey an order that violates the law ("Kill that innocent bystander by order of the police!"), especially one that violates your clearly established Constitutional rights ("Surrender your Constitutional rights or face arrest!").
Yes, you will be arrested and face retaliation, but you should prevail in court. If you don't want the hassle, obey the unlawful order.
That said, there's a time and place for everything.
Any word yet on Clippy?

Which validates the belief that the even version numbers (Vista, Win8) are crap and the odd version numbers (XP, Win7) are better.
Waiting for the inevitable reboot of the franchise.

Beam me up.
Perhaps you can write a script that will do that for you and possibly make some random clicks.

This must be ancient alien plastic.
A new face for EVIL.
My thoughts are that posting in on-line communities is done mostly for reasons of self-esteem (although there are obviously other motivations) by people whose task is to share and receive useful-to-them information.
If your self-esteem is high, the post itself provides the validation and positive or negative comments have little to no effect on what you post since validation is intrinsic.
If your self-esteem is low, validation comes through feedback. Positive feedback is then seen to come from kindred souls and negative feedback from trolls. In both cases, validation is extrinsic and therefore has a volatile effect on the poster.
My problem with TFA is what they quantify as "better" content. People post using words, phrases and grammar that they come equipped with; their level of education is fixed for the most part; their real-life experience and socialization is essentially fixed for the short run. Their ideas and opinions are already formed. There will not be any substantial improvement in the quality of what people post, no matter what the feedback is.
Obviously, we need to fund more studies, especially studies done at exotic locales and funded by government money.
Anyone can make an omelet with eggs. The trick is to make one with none.
