You've read the opinion, now watch the video

In a novel use of technology, U.S. Supreme Court on Monday annotated a written opinion with a video recording, posted for public viewing on its web site.  In Scott v. Harris, the court ruled that police were not liable for injuries resulting from a car chase.  Justice Scalia wrote that the plaintiff and the Court of Appeals had understated the danger posed by the high-speed pursuit, citing as proof a dashboard video from a police car.  He added in a footnote:  "We are happy to allow the videotape to speak for itself."
