If you really want a technological solution, there is almost always a wireless network on a campus and wireless webcams are cheap.. once it's out on the net there is no way to stop it.
Clemson University Police told the leader of the group today that the video would be returned after the department deleted the portions with images of the police.
Something smells here! You can bet they will delete all the portion showing police misconduct!
Here's the latest on this topic.
I spoke with the leader of the group and he filled in some of the details.
He had spoken to the Student affairs office and had obtained a permit to be on campus at a designated area.
He paid for the permit and has the receipt. The permit was faxed to him.
When he showed up to Clemson and was approaching the area that was designated on the permit, he and the group were stopped by Campus police.
He was told that the permit was invalid because the police department and the athletics department had not signed off on it. This is unusual due to the fact that he had obtained a permit two years ago in the same way and was not bothered by the campus police.
The conversation between the police and the group leader was being recorded by video and a digital recorder.
During the discussion between the group leader and the police to straighten out the problem, a Sgt. repeatedly bumped into, stepped on the feet of and blocked my son as he filmed the situation.
The group began to leave and as they did so, the Sgt. grabbed the camera and stole the video. He then returned the camera.
The Police officer who was escorting the group off of the campus would not even allow them to stand on the public sidewalk that borders the public street that borders the campus.
The police will return the video after they erase all portions that include the police in them.
