If you are interested in this sort of thing, you might want to look up CopBlock or Photography Is Not A Crime. If you can tolerate the foil-hattery, this sort of effort also appears periodically on Prison Planet. And if you ever watched the television show COPS and wondered what it would look like if the footage were filmed from the suspect's perspective, just hit LiveLeak, Vimeo, or YouTube and search for "checkpoint videos".

The increasing prevalence of cameras in mobile phones, wearable action cameras such as GoPro brand devices, and over-the-air footage-uploading services such as Bambuser have really jolted this new niche of police brutality porn. Further court rulings, such as Glik v. Cunniffe, that reinforced a person's right to record police in public while performing their official duties, have only emboldened crusaders against the corruption behind the thin blue line.
