Police Citizen Review Boards would be a good idea in New Hampshire.

Legislature, Shegislature.  If you'd like to put cops on the spot I'd suggest the way Lucy Liu did it to the software company in Charlies Angels:

Well, we already are putting them on the spot. Videoing them when they interfere with us. Dragging them into court for hours, days. Crashing their certification hearings. And more.

Why do you need the State's permission? 

...oh... probably for the same reason Manchester doesn't have a Free Press... You need Nanny's permission.

I didn't say we did. The "Citizen Review Board" in that article though is some sort of State-created entity, so I was merely showing what happened when New Hampshire tried the same thing.

As I said above, we already have an ad hoc coalition of people doing citizens' review of the police: Every activist with a camera or voice recorder.

On that topic, what happened to Keene's CopWatch?

I still do it when I get the opportunity. I don't post any videos because nobody gets beaten.
