Probably YouTube's image stabilization, or something to that effect at least. Though the image should be pretty stable in the first place, considering it's filmed with a mounted camera. I don't know.

Oh right that makes sense. It should bump the entire image when it hits the curb but it's stabilized so the frame moves instead.

I really liked the animal ones spliced between the people faceplanting in to concrete. Some of the moves these guys have are actually quite impressive and you can tell it's just someone who knows what they're doing making a mistake.

What about gunshots? If someone gets shot, I have a hard time getting to "well, if they hadn't been taking a selfie..." unless they're in an active war zone.

Pedophiles getting whats deserved is already great freude, especially when the courts say that you're going to have that ankle-monitor on for the rest of your life, kid-fucker.

I can't find the full-text, but supposedly the judge poked fun at the EFF, who argued that it's totally wrong to have a kid-fucker monitored like this.

Could easily happen at one of those Cambodian gun ranges. You can fire off a full auto ak-47 and throw a grenade into a pond. I could see someone messing that up if they were trying for a selfie at the same time.

Yeah, this particular guy is a scumbag who should rot in hell, but this isn't good for people in general. What's the point of having civil rights and a constitution that applies to everyone if you throw them out the window with a few weasel words whenever it's convenient to gently caress over one rear end in a top hat? Bad precedent.

There was a light airplane crash last year where the NTSB found that:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/02/03/ntsb-selfies-disoriented-pilot-causing-crash/22785475/

quote:

A GoPro camera mounted to the plane's windshield recorded Singh and several other passengers taking selfies on their cellphones during a series of short flights before the crash, the National Transportation Safety Board found. While the GoPro didn't record the flight where Singh crashed, investigators portrayed a pattern of the pilot taking selfies and possibly texting while giving rides to passengers above Front Range Airport, about 30 miles east of Denver.

Singh's plane was about 740 feet above the ground when it descended rapidly and hit the ground.

"It is likely that cellphone use during the accident flight distracted the pilot and contributed to the development of special disorientation and subsequent loss of control," the NTSB said.

It doesn't help that pedophilia is demonized to the point where pedophiles who don't want to harm kids can't actually receive any kind of therapy or other help for it, as just admitting to having the urges makes everyone spit in your face and lock you up. And it's virtually impossible to actually get it changed because anyone who doesn't think that people who are attracted to kids should be lined up and shot gets accused of being a pedophile themselves.

Remember when we treated schizophrenia and bipolar disorder the same way?
