Think wireless jammers. Think people first jamming you, and then ripping
off your hardware, leaving you bleeding from wounds and disoriented,
because you came to rely on your augmenting warez. You're of course
familiar with Steve Mann, and his http://wearcam.org/ and 'shooting back'.
Strangely enough, he's no longer travelling after his recent harrowing
experience, after being harassed by airport security, and several 10 k$
worth of hardware having been destroyed by thug hirelings.

You can just push the video into coming distributed P2P infrastructure. It
would be good if there was an 'irrevocable publish' option.

Yes, but you can be held in jail, until you yield the key to the encrypted
evidence, a mild form of rubberhose cryptoanalysis. Sure, you can trigger
an automatical release with a watchdog/dead man's switch, but what if this
will be associated with a penalty? Contempt of court is rather rubbery.
