Public servants (cities/states) & employees (corporations) - BEWARE: The internet and going Viral
Cities and corporations need to be vigilant in what their employees are saying - as there is a good chance that it can end up on Youtube, go viral, and decimate your reputation or brand. For example: AOL and canceling over the phone, Comcast sleeping episode, and now the Baltimore Police:
At the end of the video the pig (cop) even says, “Is that camera on? If I see this on youtu….” He immediately recognized the danger of what he just did - kudo’s to the kids for protecting themselves with the power of a camera, putting it on Youtube, then getting it Dug thousands of times.
Another great example of public servants getting ratted out through user generated videos:

Nice. Not only does the ‘officer’ tarnish Baltimore’s rep, his complete overkill tactics (obviously insecure in his own self-image) also instill immediate disdain for authority in four (or more) young men for the rest of their lives. Good job Osifer!
