Well, how long do you think it will be before your friendly local government decides to buy some of these things and flash them around political demonstrations? Maybe add some extra 'functionality' too, like shutting down the phone entirely or Teh Twitterz.

Or maybe cops might carry a device like this in their car and trigger it when they decide to pull someone over so their possibly illegal actions can't be recorded?
