Isn't there some exemption where you can use non-consensual recordings to refute lies?

So, much better for defending yourself than prosecuting somebody, but I imagine some lawyer could twist things enough where if you could get things started without the recording, you could use the recording to refute their version of events? ...Or am I just making stuff up on the internet again?

Comment Re:Serpico was fantasy (Score 1) 63

The police have never responded to any situations I've been involved in anywhere near quickly enough to matter, nor have they brought any of the criminals to justice. I did get a parking ticket in the mail from my car that had been stolen though, so that was extra special.

The threat of police keeps society from devolving too far into anarchy, but direct interaction with them in one's personal life will almost never be a positive or productive experience.

I'm pretty sure it'll suck because of physics, but it'll be cancelled because nobody cares at all.

Not a single person has said the word "Stadia" to me. I haven't seen a single ad for it. Not a single niece/nephew has brought it up, my son hasn't asked for it, none of my friends are even aware of it to badmouth it or praise it.

What do you need to run it? I assumed it would be some sort of software client, but one of the comments here says you need hardware. Alright. Where do you buy this hardware? I haven't seen the hardware advertised, or in any stores.

According to another comment it's launching in a week.

Where's the buzz?

When MS launched the original Xbox, it was big news. Lots of people talking about how it wouldn't work, but at least they were talking.

Stadia is going to be a complete non-event.

Sure, it'll probably get cancelled, but will we even hear about that?
