- 2Posted by khalling 11 years agoit is not. already phones have been successfully used to point out police brutality among other misuses of authority. what would be 1984 is the police exercising some "right"to know what phones were in the area around the time a crime was committed and contacting the owners either to check for evidence or locate a suspect.Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink|

- 1Posted by Zenphamy 11 years agoMany things that are regulated as crimes aren't crimes against people or property. NSA can already turn your phone's camera and audio on without your knowledge, the cops will soon do the same. Now you're just asking the citizens to do the same against other citizens. You don't need an automatic transmitting system to record this kind of stuff as is evidenced by all the police abuse videos.Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink|

- 1Posted by khalling 11 years agopretty darn interesting. here's a question-they can track back your phone-but many people like reporting anonymously. Obviously the owner can speak aloud the situation and location.Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink|

- 1Posted by ObjectiveAnalyst 11 years agoHello RMP, <br />Hmmm... This could be used for good or ill. I like the idea of using it to record the knuckle-draggers and the abusive police, but I don't desire to be recorded without my knowledge no matter where I am. That said; if you are on a public street, how much privacy can you expect? If I am on a street corner downtown I don't mind so much the cameras, people could be watching you anyway, but I wish my conversations to remain private. No eavesdropping microphones! <br />Regards, <br />O.A.Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink|
- 2Posted by $ rockymountainpirate 11 years agoI totally agree. If I'm on a public street I don't have an expectation of privacy. I have mixed feelings on this type of tech. I'd like to have had a cops there faster when I needed one, although they were quick and I had no idea that I could leap stairs 3 or 4 at a time, and maybe they could have caught him. If I had won the tug of war over his gun I'd have blown his assets away and that would also have been a good result.Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink|

- 1Posted by LetsShrug 11 years agoVideo might be good for capturing a criminal in action to prove they were the perpetrator, but if I'm the victim of his crime is my phone the first thing I should go for? Am I missing something?Mark as read | Best of... | Permalink|
- 1Posted by $ rockymountainpirate 11 years agoA panic button on the phone might work. I tried to hit 911 without the gunman noticing, and it didn't work.Mark as read | Parent | Best of... | Permalink|
