G8 protesters on the spot with video cameras to watch police (UK)
<snip> ACTIVISTS armed with video cameras are to be sent out in teams of "spotters" to film any skirmishes between protesters and the police at this summer’s G8 demonstrations in the Capital.

They say they would use the film to back up any complaints they may make about police brutality or wrongful arrest.

The teams, many made up of legal experts taking part in the protests, are expected to be on hand during the mass rally in Edinburgh, where 200,000 people are expected to take part in the Make Poverty History march.

Spotters will also provide legal advice to protesters who are arrested. <snip>
