Well, actually Igor missed a larger context when he said that. But when this context was pointed out to him, he humbly stood corrected and expressed interest in addressing this matter in OAuth!

Okay :-)

I've gotten lot of feedback ... consider a few snippets below, all part of this thread and in response to my question:

*Igor said*: OAuth was not designed for this purpose; it was designed for delegating access. In your use case, there is no delegation. The only legitimate users are police officers and they "must logon to the video server in order to access video content." And so the server must authenticate them. There is no need for OAuth in this scenario.
