    Snap Scouts: Crowd Sourcing Crime Prevention

    Ohanian Comment: Probably this should be over in The Eggplant, but I'm too paranoid to put it there. Besides that, it skates too close to reality. And I don't even know enough about telephone technology to know if the "android phone" is the giveaway.

    Take a look at the website, and see what you think.
