Crime reporting app glowingly touted

http://j.mp/zktAmy  (Forbes)

   "The company utilizes Smartphone technology to put crime reporting,
    literally, in the hands of users. After downloading the free iPhone or
    Android application, users can report an ongoing crime with the push
    of a button. A package of information including the location of the
    crime, photo, video, audio, and text description of the crime are sent
    to authorities immediately. The application also allows for users to
    report crime anonymously so that they may continue with their busy
    lives knowing that with a push of a button, police will know and have
    everything to pursue the criminal. Ordinary users become the eyes and
    ears of authorities."

What could go wrong?  And anonymously?  Uh no.  And don't bother using
this technique to report a cop engaged in criminal activity or brutality,
or you'll likely end up in jail.
