This smartphone app Downloading Empowerment: Application Gives Citizens Control Over Crime - Forbes with your scanner can make you a defective, err, detective as a top-notch crime fighter. Good grief... what other software is coming forth? :-).

It's because of silly crap apps like this, that I will not stoop to getting one of the dumb phones with the 6" screen and all that bunk!
I have a net10 prepaid lg900g and couldn't be happier with it. All our local law enforcement numbers are on presets.

They need an app that drives your car while you text.

How about an app that will self destruct your phone if you text while moving more than a few miles per hour?
Now that would be useful!!

This kind of stuff is just yet another good example of why the US is almost down the tubes, (Besides the politicians) Everyone seems to need an "App" to do anything.
