Good idea for an app, it would serve multiple uses.
I'm glad to live in Australia, our cops aren't that far gone just yet. After seeing the Wikileaks drama its pretty obvious America is almost as locked down as China and heading down the same path starting wth the police.

You ARE aware of the fact that because of the police (well, in most democratic countries that is) you can walk to the grocery store, buy some stuff and return to your home with a very high probability that you'll be safe?
Why won't you go and try doing that in Nigeria for example? I bet that after a short while, you'll drastically change your mind about how close to you you'd want the police to be...
