Surveillance and Law Enforcement


When we think about surveillance and law enforcement in the context of video footage, we tend to think of the tragedies in recent years of police needlessly killing unarmed African Americans in a fit of nonsensical violence. However, I decided to focus on more humorous surveillance footage or police bodycam footage. Why? Well, because we all could use a laugh.
The first one I would like to play is from Shanghai. The video shows two burglars approaching a store; you notice that they both have bricks in hand. The first burglar pulls his arm back and throws the brick, not breaking the glass. The second one does the same thing but to more humorous consequences...Shanghai Brick Burglars

One of my personal favorites comes from Fort Worth, Texas. It’s an older video, but still hilarious nonetheless. An intoxicated man breaks into a liquor store and causes tons of damage and attempts to steal money, cigarettes, and more alcohol. The problem is, the man cannot get out.

These are just two of many, many cases of burglaries taking more humorous turns in the end. You can see more Here

The company also tends to restore these films, presenting them at their highest quality possible to achieve the perfect image.   Introduction To The Criterion Collection FilmStruck is a video streaming service that began in early 2017.

Previously, Criterion Collection had an exclusive deal with Hulu to stream Criterion Collection properties. After the deal expired, Criterion began FilmStruck with Turner, as I stated before. Introduction to FilmStruck When the service was announced, I was extremely excited. As a

For this entry, I decided to look at Amazon instant video. Arguably the least popular among the big three of streaming services (the other two being Netflix and Hulu). Though it may be the least popular, it has a variety of content that Netflix or Hulu can’t touch, and though they may have an edge over Amazon when it comes to their slew of new or original movies and television; there is something that Amazon has that the two do not, and that is a plentiful supply of cult films. Now, Cult films can be defined as any film that was considered a flop or a failure, but gained a cult following later due to the advent of home video, or syndication on television. So, the term doesn’t necessarily limit itself to the genres I’m going to mention, I’m just talking about cult films in the genres I like that are on Amazon Video. Some may argue that the streaming service FilmStruck has the greater quantity of cult films, and at a higher quality. Though that maybe true, I currently am not
