OAKLAND: Criminals Using Smart-Phones To Monitor Police Activity
I think it's worth mentioning several stations reported live on air the day two LEO's were killed in West Memphis that a citizen using a iPhone app to monitor that incident spotted the suspect vehicle in the parking lot and directed units to the vehicle.
I am a little surprised that that story has not been widely reported nor was mentioned in the story above.
These apps can be used for good and bad but the mainstream media seems to focus a little more on the bad.
