US Census released American Community Survey, 2005-2009 data set that gives a snapshot of the American population.  The Herald  reported on the data for Miami-Dade and Broward.

Some interesting facts:

  • 61 % Hispanics, 20 % Blacks, the rest being mostly white non-Hispanics.
  • Median family income : $39,000 – Blacks, $45,000 – Hispanics, $84,000 – White; $62,000 – US

The War on Cameras – Reason Magazine

The War on Cameras – Reason Magazine.

It has never been easier—or more dangerous—to record the police.

Be aware you can go to jail for recording(video and audio) and photographing public officials, especially the police.

“There’s this idea that just because charges are dropped, there’s no harm,” Miller says. “But that isn’t right. There’s definitely harm when someone is illegally arrested and has to spend a night or more in jail. Your life is disrupted. You now have legal bills to deal with. There’s also harm when a cop wrongly tells someone they can’t photograph or record. He’s intimidating them into giving up their rights.”
