The Newest Crime Fighting Tool Is...Your Cameraphone?
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) is considering implementing a system where images taken from mobile devices could be uploaded directly to police department computers. What an idea!
Forgive us for the sarcasm, but this should have been done years ago.
According to a recent article by the Reuters news agency, NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said "It's a fact of life. Everybody has a camera in their telephones. When people can record an event taking place that helps us during an investigation."
This is a good idea for a number of reasons. Civil rights groups believe it would provide vital in proving police brutality. People could also anonymously upload video or photos of crimes without fear of retribution, especially illegal activity that takes place in a public place or around a large group of people.
Of course, there are those who would abuse the system for personal gain, or because of a personal vendetta, but having more oversight on police and more evidence for prosecutions sounds like a pretty strong case to us. [Source: BBC]

Wish my city would do that. (Charleston SC) But the last part of that article should be ignored. Everything that is done in this world is for personal gain. Whether it be religous, monetery, morality, politcally, etc... Case in point, this article.
