      it 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.

          so, if a crime is committed right in front of your face, you don't report it?

            Many 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.

    Hello 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.

      I 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.
