Do you think your two second lag argument is going to hold up in traffic court if you’re cited?

You are repeating yourself with more irrelevant examples. The court could convict you, but that doesn't make it firsthand evidence. You are confusing "firsthand" with "compelling", "physical", etc.

You also completely ignored my post 174, perhaps because it is silly to compare news coverage on TV and Internet with living and working at the place in question.

The fact is, my experience of living and working in Madison, Wisconsin, gave me a fuller understanding of the environment under which Governor Walker was operating.

No matter how much footage you saw, or at what resolution, much of it likely had voice-overs. ALL of what you saw relied on what the cameraman felt like showing you. That is not the same as walking in the downtown, overhearing conversations in the DOT cafeteria, seeing the yard signs in the local neighborhoods, witnessing the violence firsthand (as well as the local media coverage, which was not first hand, but likely more complete than what you would get in Texas), noticing what people WON'T talk about. It is not the same as watching a live feed.
