You don't have to give it to them just because they asked. If they get a warrant from a judge, they are allowed to obtain the video. Notice that I still didn't say you have to voluntarily give it to them. These laws also vary by state. No easy answers.

@polotek Were you forced to give them the video or was it a request you felt you could turn down? (not a question regarding your points, just curious)

@heyjenbartel ("Jen Bartel") replied to a tweet by @heyjenbartel:

This version of Cowboy Bebop is a hollow, vapid, sometimes literal shot-for-shot remake that removes most of what made the original series so interesting and endearing to fans. I could go on, but this thread is too long already and I think you get the point: Just watch the anime.

@heyjenbartel ("Jen Bartel") replied to a tweet by @heyjenbartel:

Faye in the original show was a capable and crafty femme fatale in massive medical debt who, under an exterior layer of sass, was a compassionate and loyal friend who was desperately terrified of being abandoned. The live action version is written mostly as a capital-G Girlboss.

@heyjenbartel ("Jen Bartel") replied to a tweet by @heyjenbartel:

The live action version of CB erases all of these details, instead prioritizing the exterior "cool factor" of each character, ridding them of the majority of their original motivations—effectively hollowing them out & turning them into shallow, unrelatable versions of themselves.

@heyjenbartel ("Jen Bartel") replied to a tweet by @heyjenbartel:

Through these intimate character vignettes, the original series takes a very clear stance on a wide range of socioeconomic + political issues that frankly, in the 25 years since Cowboy Bebop's original release, have been further exacerbated rather than resolved (or even improved)

The original made it a point to focus on the struggles of poor and working class people within this dystopian future, often spending entire episodes to show how established systems and power structures have harmed not only the main cast, but every single side character as well.

Justice Sotomayor likens the Texas abortion ban to "the philosophy of John C. Calhoun, a virulent defender of the slaveholding South who insisted that States had the right to "veto" or "nullif[y]" any federal law with which they

Faye is woken from cryosleep and swindled not only by a con man, but also by the hospital staff who work with him. She's in massive debt because of exorbitant charges that got tacked on to her *medical bills*—revealing an all-too-familiar broken system that ruins people's lives.

Spike had to fake his own death to escape the criminal enterprise he once was a part of—an insidious organization that quietly causes suffering everywhere its reach extends. We only ever catch glimpses of The Syndicate, but their subtle influence is felt throughout the show.

In the original series, we’re introduced to a world that, despite being set in a future where humans have traveled to the far reaches of the galaxy, they still face all of today’s inequities—so much so that it’s normal for bounty hunters to compete with one another for a living.
