Like the blowback reaction of the Rodney King beatings, the power to demonstrate how police surveillence of persons, and the abuse of power, is indicative of an editing force towards, "covernment." Such was the opinion of the visually impaired person who I had interviewed in preparation for an eyetap experiment. Our volunteer commented upon a power structure of how police protect drug dealers. more later stef Of Laws and Flesh:

The whole thing of image processing and sousavaillence using them Orkut community wide monitoring systems, could be replicated with monitoring otc pressure sore supplies, and or number of hospital beds sold in a community. this information can lead one to know if a staffing change has occured in a hospital of rehab center. This all coorelated with sousavaillence noted from behind the white wall of silence, can lead to an understanding of the problems within a health care system. there are medical legal issues on this, but with increase efforts, the tort system will, or should realize that those that have more transparency, are doing a better job, but may wind up reporting stuff the shady places, and or characters, that are a problem, will not. It will require community commitment to "Civic Duty" to make something like this work, and for sousavaillence not to deevolve into a lottery ticket for litigation lawyers. The consequenses of overlitigation will limit rationed resourses and collapse a system, if all this hits a health care system all in sycn, in real time chaos of persons with released vengence and anger (which is a real emotion when ones loved one is in a condition of chronic illness) So yes, sousavaillence can be used for machiavellian ends, so hence, it needs to be tempored in a very deep emotional and academic restraint, that i feel, with the proper channels, can happen. Its like blogging with FDR. This was a time that persons came together to fight a great evil. We also witnessed what can happen in our society from the unbalanced surveillence, as witnessed in LA during the Rodney King beatings. We are faced with a fragile society changing rapidly. Will technologies be partitioned, and restricted to maintain a status quo? this is not the trend given that the power structure of litigation is not writting wise, nor laws rooted in common sense, in anticipation of the future...like our founding fathers wrote the constitution. As long as we have a constitution, we will have some ability to roll with the punches, but my fear, is that persons are only trying to circumvent (you yourself are concerned about student unsatifactory manner of circumventing IRB's, which suggests a pattern of social behaviour because creative argument rooted in law and debate, takes effort and energy) the process of law via a sabatoging of our legal system with the feedback of litigation shutdown that will bankrupt our system with the personal greed of individual quest for unbalanced justice. The question is, how do we prevent the mob rule that can happen with consumer coordination of law suits? already, lawyers advertise on tv constantly, what will prevent them from finding a way to advertise on cellphones or computers. The idea of Class action law suit and the media is a great case for profit. Look closely at your local court house and look at who is donating to keep it clean and beutiful? Look at how many persons who feel that things are wrong, acually volunteer and fight with hard work on the grassroots level to help out in nursing homes...not many persons do...we expect new imigrants to come migrate and clean and bath our elderlys excrement, and do we thank these persons? Look closely at our behaviour and you will see our motives toward a civic duty. stef if you sample physicians regarding pressure sores, you will discover that this is a quality idicator of how a nursing home or hospital is doing. it is known that the more pressore sores are monitored, the increase likelihood of healing.
