Anyone Can Be a Hero, Especially with These Apps
Have you ever fancied being one of those costumed superheroes you see in comic books or watch in TV when you were a kid? In my case, as a matter of fact, I had. Back in the days, I imagined myself having extraordinary powers, such as shooting laser from my eyes, being able to read other people’s thoughts, moving objects with my mind, and of course, not to mention having the ability to fly. I wonder, how amazing can my life be if I really do have those powers? But certainly, as they say, With great power(s), comes great responsibility. I couldn’t agree more. We must use our gifts to stop crime and defeat evil-doers for the service to mankind.
However, as we grow up and realize the potentials and limitations of human beings, we recognize that it’s impossible for us to have supernatural powers. Be that as it may, isn’t there any other way to live our life as a hero? Alas! In this modern age, there is, and one of the most powerful crime-fighting tools in the planet is already with you. What’s that? Well, it’s your smartphone, my friend. If enhanced with the right apps and mobile accessories, it can help you put a stop to crime. Learn what kind of apps you should have in your phone to become a crime-fighting hero. Read on.
1. iSpotACrime
Crime can happen anywhere; that’s why it pays to be vigilant. And of course, it doesn't just stop there; if you want to help stop crime, then you should find ways to get those bad guys behind bars. But since you don’t have superpowers, providing pertinent evidences to authorities is more than enough. This app can gather pictures, locations, text, and voice comments to formulate them into a concise email report sent to the database of your police department of choice.
2. TipSubmit Mobile
Although true heroes expect nothing in return, wouldn’t it be great if your heroic acts will be appreciated in the form of cash? This app allows you to provide anonymous tips to federal or local agencies against crime doers so as not to put yourself in the brink of danger. If your tip is that invaluable enough to stop the crime, you could be rewarded of up to $1,000.
3. iWitness Personal Safety
Being a hero has its perks; however, the hazards that come with it are a serious matter. Whenever you subject yourself in disrupting a criminal activity, you are putting your life on the line, and the developers of this app are absolutely aware of that.
This is what this app is for: to help protect you and those you care about. When you are about to enter a potentially threatening environment, simply activate iWitness. Your phone then will begin to emanate a blinking light, giving you and any crime perpetrator a signal that your device is armed. Once you feel endangered, just tap the screen to capture an audio-video scene that is sent to a secure server accessed by law enforcers. Everything, including your location via GPS is recorded to ensure that help is on the way.
4. CrimePush
This app is almost the same as the abovementioned; however, this one has a more user-friendly interface. It comes with a Safety box feature loaded with vital safety tools like a flashlight, maps, and a list of emergency contact numbers.
Additionally, it has a distress messaging feature that allows you to send multiple, GPS-tagged messages with just a push of the button designated to your emergency contacts. It also has an option to trigger a siren sound to ward off attackers or to signal for help.
It doesn’t matter if your device is a latest smartphone or just a cheap mobile phone; for as long as you have these apps with you, every law violator will pay the price of their bad actions. With you always on the watch, this world will definitely be a better place to live in.
