§Wisdom of black bloc video?

I have to question the wisdom of making a video of black bloc folks. Obviously, people in the bloc are masked up to hide their identity. Putting them on video (or photographing them) seems to compromise this masked identity.

Showing any bloc'ers trashing property or doing other naughty things would seem particularly eggregious.

Have the producers of this video considered these problems?

yep. we have considered that and have videotaped and produced videos on previous black blocks. Our tapes were recently used in defense trials of black blockers so it is a double edged sword. But darn we don't have any footage of blocs smashing windows i can't explain why are cameras usually lose power during such "illegal" incidents.

the police are already videotaping nearly every single person at a protest anyways. Not to mention that nearly half the demonstraters and galwkers have them too.
