App request "bullies with badges" anti police harassment app - maemo.org

The United States of America has the most men in jail of any country in the world.

We (males) all know that when cops have nothing to do they sometimes stop random males and without reason search them and get psychological pleasure in dominating them and in some cases purposely try to provoke the male into getting angry so they can arrest them.

To protect your rights as a man I propose an app written in QT so that it can be run on symbian phones also.

The app would automatically record video and audio and upload the video (and a backup) to a server in real time and send an email and sms to your lawyer with your gps location.

This app would have to be bluetooth linked to your phone triggered by an external camera that you wear near your neck and the camera would have to have a recessed button which you would have to hold down for 3 beeps in order to activate. The camera should probably have a small red light to indicate it's on.

The officer may act nice seeing that he is being recorded by you and can't place his back to the video camera in his car window so he can't be seen.

This is not just an app but a small camera too so you could make a lot of money.

The app must be triggered by an external camera near the neck so you don't get shot by the officer reaching for your phone.

The app must give you a ten minute window to cancel the video and sms to your lawyer.

The app must have an extensive setup and testing procedure and the person writing the app should probably go interview defense lawyers to ask what is the preferable methods to protect their client.

This app must lockout the officer (by auto 2 hour lockout) that tries to delete your video by threatening you are taking your phone.

This app must auto upload every 30 seconds or so in case the officer destroys your phone.

This app once used (and a few hundred videos get transferred to youtube) would get free media press (free advertising) which would snowball into more people buying the camera and app.
you could make a lot of money and help a lot of men

The personal reason I am asking for this app to be written by one of you guys other than what I have stated so far is that the last 3 times I have been stopped by a police officer have been without a good reason.
I assure you I am not some kind of criminal I have 2 traffic tickets I will pay soon but that's it, I have no criminal record at all and don't plan on having one.
But yet any officer can make up any lie he wants to stop me and search my property.
The first time in San Fernando Valley I was handcuffed and brought down to a station and my DNA was taken and they kept me in a cell for half an hour along with surrounding me with 4 police cars and making me stand there for half an hour in front of all my neighbors with handcuffs on. I never got to see my accuser and I don't even know if they just made the whole thing up to create busy work. They made me look like a criminal in my neighborhood.
How do I fix that my whole neighborhood thought I was a criminal now? So now I have to go door to door and explain to every neighbor? That was 1.5 years ago and I've moved.

Now in this new neighborhood I've already had a police man come in to the house where I am renting a room, knock on my door waking me up, call me out to the livingroom, ask me invasive questions and then tell me outright I can't watch porn in my bedroom twice!

The neighbor called the police on me because I did not fully close my shades and I was sick and had just moved in and had just been awake for 2 hours and I played a porn and forgot the shades were not fully closed.

What kind of police does not use common sense and just tell the neighbor to call out or knock on my front door or call me (or my landlord) on the phone and tell me to close my shades? If I knew they were open I would have immediately closed them and profusely apologized.

The third time i was bicycling to work with a backpack on. A cop stopped me for no reason and searched my backpack.

This is clearly bullying because

#1 I know I was not breaking the law in any way
#2 He made a BS excuse to stop me that there is no way to double check for validity (there is no punishment or detterent to making up lies to search innocent males)
#3 Now that his character is in question he asks me a yes or no question with a gun on his waist
#4 Any answer to this man with a gun is invalid as it is being asked under the same circumstances as torture, i.e. the questioner has the power of life and death over you. This officer can shoot me dead for showing him my cellphone and claiming he thought I was pulling a gun.
#5 You and I both know that asking permission to search your belongings IS A LIE!
If an officer decides you are guilty, you are guilty until proven innocent.
Asking to search your belongings is not a question, it is a statement. The statement is I will now search your property and if you say no I will make up an excuse to handcuff you or arrest you and search your property anyways,

Dogs are trainable. Any dog can be trained to fake a "positive" by its master. Bringing in a dog and finding out this male is innocent and making your dog "find something anyways" should result in the most severe penalty possible to an officer as you have undermined the publics' trust in justice by bullying innocent males.

Just out of curiosity, female individuals don't have such problems, there?

You want to look up the U.S.A. statistics?
Are you serious?
Do you think for one second that you can ask 10 random females in this country the same age as me (39) and even one of them will tell you "yes I have been handcuffed by the police and held in a cell and had my DNA taken and my room searched."

I invite you to survey 5,000 random females my age and see if you get one that can say that. Good luck.

This application in my opinion is pure junk. I think this is the case because if you obey the law and dont provoke officers they wont hurt you.

Why on earth would you apologise for watching porn with your shades open here in the forum?

If you have nothing to hide evasing questions from police officers wont hurt you at all. You must never forget that officers work long hours and they have to be on alert for any suspicious behaviour.

If i were a developer i would never develop such an app. It just doesnt make sence to me.

Good laugh

The only time I was speaking with police officers, they were just curious and I showed them a mole cricket.

Don't alienate them, and they will not be invasive.

You are either a naive person, or a serving police officer.
