I wouldn't say it will do 'almost nothing', since the stats clearly show otherwise.

Still, if police were *required* to submit video evidence for any trial that involves an officer or have the case dismissed, it would certainly cut down on police corruption. Police wouldn't be able to use the 'oh, my camera was broken' or 'I forgot to turn it on' as an excuse.

We're talking about vegans here, though, and if they enjoy their breakfasts so much, why do they need fake eggs?

Most vegans I know talk about how hard it was to give up eating meat (especially bacon), eggs, butter, etc. They do it because they believe that abusing animals for food is unethical. Not because they don't find it tasty. Fake eggs lack the ethical baggage, which is fine for ethical vegans who still want to eat eggs, or for the general population who continue to eat meat and animal products because they are so tasty, but feel guilty that animals are harmed in the process. If you had the option of choosing eggs which didn't result in harm to animals, would you, assuming that the eggs are identical, and the price was the same?

That's not even remotely true. A couple months ago I attended a lecture by Paul Nicklen from National Geographic, and he talked about his experience photographing a female elephant seal (one of the most aggressive creatures on the planet). I would say more, but you could just watch this instead: http://gizmodo.com/5405892/nat... I'm willing to bet this is very common behaviour in the animal kingdom, especially with mammals who learn empathy because they have to raise their young.
