A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The app is clearly done by religious nutjobs that get off on societal voyeurism, they don't mind the cops, they are just covering their legal asses.
True ... but again if the EULA clearly states the app will not hold up in court, why use it? At the very least it's a waste of taxpayer dollars and at worst it's a blatant abuse of constitutional rights.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't hold up in court. Most of the time it is enough to scare someone into taking plea deals.
And this is how innocent people spend 20 yrs in prison or end up on death row.
