Crime Fighting By Smart Mobbing?


Crime Fighting By Smart Mobbing? 02/18/2004 02:56 PM
There have been a few stories here and there about people preventing crime (or at least giving police clues about a crime) by using their camera phones. Well, now it appears that police in Germany have read up on Howard Rheingold's concept of "smart mobs" and are set to use the concept to help fight crime. The system, which has been tested for over a year but is now official, would let police broadcast an SMS text message to the mobile phones of anyone who volunteers about a particular crime. In other words, say a bank has just been robbed in a certain area, the police can quickly tell everyone who volunteered in that area to be on the lookout for the suspect. Some, however, are quite upset about this use of ordinary citizens as an adjunct police force - saying that it only encourages people to spy on their neighbors and report them for doing crimes. I'm not sure that's really the case. This isn't a situation where people are being asked to report on all suspicious behavior, but to alert them to be on the lookout in response to very specific crimes. Still, the much more important question is whether or not this actually helps at all. Despite the year-long tests, there were a grand total of zero crimes solved using this method.

Cops use photo to pry open sex abuse: Some scumbag sexually abused a girl, then sent pictures around the Net. The police have had the girl Photoshopped out of the picture, and are circulating the resulting images in the hopes of catching a lead.

For the first time, Toronto police have released digitally altered photos taken from original child-abuse images in hopes of identifying a sexual-abuse victim. The eerie photos, which show a young blond victim being abused, were "repainted" to remove the victim in hopes of identifying the location where she was abused, said Det.-Sgt. Paul Gillespie, head of the child-exploitation unit.

The pictures are here. They're eerie. It looks like they extrapolated the background behind where the girl was located in the picture, leaving a subtly distorted silhouette of her.
