Our cities and towns would be far better places if more people reported what they saw. It’s plainly NOT TRUE that the police have no trouble catching the “bad guys”. In many places across the country, criminals feel like they have carte blanche to do their nefarious activities without anyone bothering to report them. Making it easier for citizens to report criminal activity can only lead to safer neighborhoods.

I think it’s brillant ! Anything to make the deviant ne’er-do-wells nervous is a good thing. Keep the alert law abiding citizens well armed….& keep the criminals squirming.

I don’t see where your skepticism comes in. This is no different than someone calling the police. It just makes it easier to report crimes now. How is that a bad thing?
I will tell you this though, I would love to have this in Cleveland.
