  1. I cant agree with anything you are saying at all except this "...videos are the public's last defense against mistreatment...at the hands of law enforcement." however I must add that this is a two-way street and video will also be law enforcement's last defense against unfounded claims of harassment, mistreatment or violence lodged by the public as well.
  2. So long as you, the photographer, are on property you have the legal right to be present on (i.e. sidewalk, porch, car, etc.) you have the legal right to film anything in plain view.
  3. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-watch/wp/2014/05/13/despite-court-rulings-people-are-still-getting-arrested-for-recording-on-duty-cops/ https://www.aclu.org/free-speech/know-your-rights-photographers http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-03-20/news/chi-supreme-court-eavesdropping-law-20140320_1_illinois-supreme-court-illinois-eavesdropping-act-cook-county-jail
  4. Osage.
  5. Backward, maybe. If it helps get women in medical emergencies to the ED that much quicker and with better care, then not so much. Just so long as they play nice in the sandbox and dont go screaming up and down the tristate area in unmarked flycars from 40 miles away like some other nameless religion associated agency/organization.
  6. Zoll X-series. We just got 2 X-series with medic level features and 7 all new Zoll smartCPR AEDs for <~$50,000. We were sold on Lifepack until we saw the X series demo, we did not consider Philips. Between the weight, software and hardware it was a no brainer. Even if you only use it to take vitals it is the only EKG/AED with military grade technology built in. Between the welch-allyn BP cuff taking BPs in 5 seconds and the EKG leads allowing respiration rate determination, vitals take themselves. The CPR feedback allows you to track your CPR performance though-out and ensure proper perfusion competent, it will yell at you if you do not. It really makes effective CPR idiot proof. Hopefully you got the full demo from both, and Ian, the smooth-talking Zoll rep. was able to show you exactly why the X-series is superior.
  7. Governor Chris Christie (R_NJ) gives the keynote address at the 2012 Republican National Convention. Tell me again how the GOP doesn't claim Christie?
  8. Ok, I get it, every proby class has a 36 year old proby priority hire making grabs of an infant during their first 10-75, totally normal and not extra ordinary or newsworthy in any way. You would think you just take the positive press for once and move on...
  9. Or, it could be the FD that bought a unnecessarily large and expensive vehicle and now the fire commission is disagreeing with that purchase. (Note I am not saying this is the case, only potentially the fire commissions point of view.) Its all a matter of prospective.
  10. We should commend the fact that at 16-17, the member is able to flow water to a portable pond by themself in 2.5 minutes. Additionally, when 0.33% of the largest fire department in the world is female, and 3.4% of firefighters nationally are female, any press that highlights the skill and contributions of members other than white, middle aged, christian men should be lauded. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/nyc-female-firefighters-trying-boost-numbers
  11. In my opinion the answer is clear: Across the board, region by region, state by state, regardless of your certification, affiliation or position; we as emergency responders should at least familiarize ourself with the opiate triad and the administration of IN naloxone. The modern heroine epidemic is here and we will see it in the streets.
  12. Sounds like these units were given to the 3 (4?) fly cars that cover the 45-Medic area (NW Westchester).
  13. Well then prove him wrong. If you can't do it for him, how can you do it for the people who pay for it?
  14. Thats what I am afraid of.
  15. Does any legislation in NY address the record keeping and storage of LPR photos/data? Jacob
  16. typo, sorry, power-pro.
  17. not when we just got the whole fleet using power-pro.
