Why doesn't this surprise me, with Police Departments using video cameras on their field Officers, not only will they ask for your driver license, proof of insurance, vehicle registration and your cell phone. Now, they will also ask you smile real pretty for the camera! But hey, who's to worry, if you don't have anything to hide, right? We are going to be in a world of hurt if there's a stray EMP in the vicinity. I can just hear it now, OMG Sarge, u mean i have 2 walk my beat w/o my taz & webcam? What if.....
