Candid photography enthusiast and mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner today announced his plan for New York City police officers to wear tiny lapel cameras to record their interactions with residents, but it was Weiner’s door-to-door trek later in the day that had us wishing he was wearing one, just this once. Weiner was accompanied by a number of reporters as he knocked on apartment doors in Harlem.
"I already said I didn't want to meet you. Have a good day," one woman says refusing to open door. "Please stop knocking on my door."

Anthony Weiner to British reporter: "It's hard to take you seriously…I feel like I walked into a Monty Python skit."
— Scott Conroy (@ScottFConroy) August 8, 2013
British reporter asked Weiner whether this was about ego. That's when he stared her down for a few secs and went with the Monty Python slam.
