As an ex-cop, I have some advice.
Regarding point 7, in some cases the state police will investigate a problem because the police department is small and they don't have an internal affairs department. Don't turn the video into that police department. Turn it into the state police or law enforcement agency doing the investigation.
Regarding point 10, don't edit the video. Let it stream through everything, even what seems to be unimportant. If you edit out stuff, what you're doing is opening up the possibility of the police saying that there were actions taken by the suspect that the videographer edited out, and those actions justified the police officers use of force. So if you don't edit it, you don't leave the window of opportunity to be taken.

Not sure if the law has been amended but as of three years ago in Maryland & 11 other states like California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington you cannot Audio record police or anyone else of the matter without all parties consent. So good luck recording cops on mute if you are within these jurisdictions.

Automatically back up photos and videos from any mobile device to the cloud
A lot of us have mobile devices on multiple platforms. Maybe an iPod, an Android tablet, and/or a Windows Phone. Or perhaps you have a BlackBerry or Kindle Fire to throw into the mix. Whatever your combination of devices, it can be cumbersome accessing each platform's respective storage service to manage photos and videos you take. An easier solution is to use one service to consolidate all of your photos and videos in one spot. Both OneDrive and Dropbox have apps for each of the major mobile platforms and will back up photos and videos automatically – no matter which device you're using.
With each new generation of smartphones, the cameras continue to improve, offering higher-resolution photos and videos. But with higher resolution comes larger files and the need for more storage space. The good news is cloud services like Dropbox and OneDrive are continually increasing the amount of storage space to keep apace with this ever-increasing demand. They also allow automatic backup from virtually any type of mobile device. Let's start by looking at OneDrive.
Automatically back up your pictures and videos to OneDrive
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that it was doubling storage capacity for users of a free account to 15 GB. It's also worth noting that the company increased OneDrive storage for subscribers of Office 365 to 1 TB per user. Of course, if you need additional space, Microsoft offers different tiers of storage and pricing.
OneDrive is available on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Amazon Fire Phone and tablets, and Windows Phone. As an extra bonus, when you set your non-Microsoft phone or tablet to auto backup to OneDrive, you will get an extra 3 GB of free storage space for a total of 18 GB. And that's not too shabby If you're just getting started.
Windows Phone 8.1
As you might expect, it's easier to set OneDrive up on Windows Phone as it is built into the phone's OS and there's no need to download anything. Just go to Settings > Backup > photos + videos. There you have a few options on the quality you want the photos and videos to be uploaded at. If you pick Best quality, you will need to be connected to a Wi-Fi network, which is also a good idea even on lower quality settings if you're on a limited mobile data plan.
Android Devices
When first setting up your shiny new Android device, you may have selected to auto backup photos to Google+ but it's easy to change it to OneDrive. Download the OneDrive Android app and launch it. Then sign in with your Microsoft Account and one of the first setup screens will ask if you want to turn on Camera Backup and get 3 GB of extra storage. If you don't want your photos backing up to two locations, launch Google+ and go to Settings > Auto Backup and switch it off.
Apple Iphone or Ipad
Typically your photos on an iOS device are stored to iCloud. But OneDrive is also available for iOS and it works similar to the way it does on Android. Just download the app, start it up and log in with your Microsoft Account. That will allow you to select OneDrive as your automatic storage service. It also will give you an extra 3 GB of storage, but you'll only be able to upload pictures and video over Wi-Fi.
Sharing your photos via OneDrive is simple, and it gives you a lot of options. You control the level of security of who's able to see and download the stored pictures or videos. After you select the image you want to share, you can create a short link to it, post it on Facebook or Twitter, or email it to someone. It also allows you to invite people from your contacts list to view or download the photos or videos. The person you're sharing the item with do not need to have, or create a OneDrive account if they don't have one.
It also includes a the ability to setup a PIN code to restrict access to the items you don't want to share or only want select people to see. You can set up the photos and videos you want to share directly from your device, the Windows 8.1 app, file explorer in Windows 7, or directly from the onedrive.com site from any browser.
Back up photos and videos to Dropbox
Dropbox increased its storage capacity for Pro users to 1 TB of space for US$9.99/month, but the free account is the same it's been for years at 2 GB. Dropbox also lets you to back up all of your photos and videos automatically from Android, iOS, BlackBerry and even the Kindle Fire line of devices, including the Fire phone. One caveat is there isn't an official Dropbox app for Windows Phone yet. There is one for Windows desktop, but not the phone.
A free third-party Dropbox app for Windows Phone that gives you the same type of options and automatic backup is called Cloudsix for Dropbox.
When you first install the Dropbox app on any of your devices, it gives you the option to automatically back up your photos and videos just like OneDrive does.
If you already have Dropbox set up on your phone and didn't opt-in to auto photo backups, launch the app and go to Settings > Camera Upload. Or on iOS launch Dropbox and go to Settings > Camera Upload to turn it on.
f you're already familiar with Dropbox, you know that sharing your photos and videos is as easy, if not easier than OneDrive. Just select the images, videos, or folder of pictures and/or videos and send a link or invite the other person to share the folder with you. You can control Dropbox from your mobile device, PC or Mac via dropbox.com or the app. Dropbox also gives you security options like creating a PIN code for your content.
Summing up
Do keep in mind that any photos or videos you've taken before setting up either service will need to be uploaded separately. Only the images you take after installing the app will be saved automatically. If you're still on the fence about which cloud service to go with, check out our Cloud storage comparison guide. It will give you an idea of what to expect from either service.
Another thing worth mentioning is both OneDrive and Dropbox offer Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), which provides an extra layer of security for your photos, video, and other data.
Consolidating all of your photos and videos in one location makes sense since you can access them easily, no matter which device you took them from – as long as you have an internet connection. And since both Dropbox and OneDrive can be set to back up photos and videos automatically, you don't even need to think about it.

Lord of the Sky
I stated in the the original Walter Scott thread that I will make a thread where we can exchange information on how to protect our selves from these soul-less race soldiers disguised as cops.
I was thinking how fortunate Walter Scott's family is that the video was not immediately release because it gave the crooked police officer the illusion that he could present a false report of what happened. There is no guarantee that the race soldier will get reprimanded but there is a higher chance because of the timing of the tape. So here are some rules to follow when you see a slimy, heartless, soul-less cop harassing someone unjustly.
1. Know the law.
You have te right to openly record the police in public.
1st amendment protected activity.
For states that under the "All party consent laws" say that the law is not applied when you OPENLY record the police.
*Tip: When openly recording, be prepared to email or upload the video in the event that the police confiscate your phone or attempt to damage your phone.
2. Know your technology
Police are required to obtain a warrant before searching your phone so make sure you have a password on your phone.
Put a streaming video app on your home page of your cell phone.
When the video is streaming, the video is sent securely to an off site server.
3. Respond to things that cops say.
If cop asks why you are recording, say "I am not interfering, I am exercising my 1st amendment right to record."
If a cop says that it it is against the law to record say "I am familiar with the law and the law does not include recording on duty police"
4. Do not point camera at police as if your phone is a gun.
Hold the phone at waist level so that your pose is not confrontation.
5. Don’t Share Your Video with Police
If you capture video of police misconduct or brutality, but otherwise avoid being identified yourself, you can anonymously upload it to YouTube. This seems to be the safest legal option.
6. If you record the police and they DO NOT see you. Do not make your presence known.
7. If you recorded the police without them knowing, do NOT turn in the video until AFTER an official report has been made public.
If police know that there is a video, they will build their lies around what they see in the video.
Let the cop play their hand with a false statement before you provide video.
8. Be prepared to be arrested
Cops may abuse their power and arrest you for recording them.
If you do get arrested, don't talk until you speak with your lawyer.
9. Learn how to handle police intimidation
No matter how much you think you have prepared yourself, it can get downright nerve-racking when a hulking cop stands over you with a badge, gun, handcuffs, taser gun and pepper spray, ordering you to hand over your identification and/or your camera.
But you need to think of yourself as a journalist not an activist. You are there to do a job, even if you are not getting paid for it.
10. Learn to edit video
If you want your video to go viral, you need to keep it short and concise.
People on the internet don’t have time to sit through a ten minute video. In fact, most people will probably not make it this far down in this article, so imagine them trying to sit through a video where nothing is happening waiting for something exciting to happen.
