Monash University: Cops on Camera Research Project

Received this email and happily conducted an interview...

Dear Nick,

My name's Tanya Serisier and I'm working on a research project at Monash
University, provisionally titled Cops on Camera. We're researching
police misconduct caught on video camera, and especially the use of
video footage as a form of reverse surveillance, attempting to create
more police accountability. As such, we're interested in people's
experiences with filming police and police responses to that experience.
(I've attached a more detailed explanation of the project for you to
look at.)

I'm emailing you because of your experience filming police with your
blackberry and to ask if you'd be interested in participating in a short
interview, about 30 minutes either in person or on the phone, about the
incident, police responses and the outcomes. We're also interested more
generally in what people think are the uses/risks of filming police as
an accountability mechanism.

The ultimate purpose of the research is both to produce publications -
journal articles and hopefully a book, and to feed into wider police
reform efforts.

If you're interested in participating, or if you have any questions,
feel free to contact me either by email or my mobile (0410 140 176).

Best wishes,

Tanya Serisier
