Posting anonymous crime tips

[Crix]

Had a thought this morning -

As much as think that the current state of emergengy in T&T is being executed a bit adhoc, it could be much more effective if we trinbagonians all kick in and assist the police with the information that we have.

We can "Crowd Source" the crime fighting effort to help the respective authorities be more effective during this rare opportunity to round up and catch the nation's criminals.

We can leverage technology in this effort, but using social online services such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps etc. - These sites lack one key feature that may be very important to contributors - anonymity!

If there were a website built to simply collect anonymous tips about potential thing crime happening etc, whoud you Tuners use it?

[Bizzare]

There could never be full anonymity on the web. Info can be traced to the IP it was sent from etc. So when you snitch on the white boy next door, better (closest gif to hiding)

[shake d livin wake d dead]

if there is indeed a webiste to do this,the men in charge of this have to be real trustworthy,ensure that they are reliable,and actually doing the job for the better of the country......other than that...is what bizzare said.

The AG is putting a hotline in effect from Today, numbers will be made public later.
I think this is a a good idea.
Also, our good 'friend' Ian said Crime Watch TT is working closely with the SOE in passing information to them, he urged his viewers to pass info on last nights programme.

the intentions are good..,but what makes you think the respective services are unaware or the locations and perpetrators of crime?

I don't think that they are completely unaware, but I do think that collectively, the people of trinidad and tobago i.e. "the crowd" has more information they do. In that respect we'll be adding to the information that they already have to necessarily providing them with new information on ever issues/area etc.

Cheers.

everything can be traced... question is if trinis would spend time to know

While this is true (in the strictist sence), there are ways to make it sufficiently difficult to track down that information ... easily essentially rendering the tracking info useless by the time that you actually figure it out --- but your response does continue to highlight the concern and importance of anonymity in one's contributions regarding sensitive issues such as crime.

Cheers.

Umm, everything you do on the internet is logged by your ISP eh.

Now Trinidad is corrupt. VERY CORRUPT. You don't know who has access to this info. Might as well be one of the big boys padna. And if you're exposing them, they won't hesitate to take you out.
Even secure data such as your password to Tuner can be intercepted and logged by your ISP. Remember the internet is man-made eh. Of course there's someone out there who has access to EVERYTHING on here. Probably darpa

again...great intentions...but how can you prevent a leak with a patch that has a hole?
if you were to arrest crime, then you will be arresting the respective powers that apprehends and contains "criminals".

@Bizzare, I have been a software engineer for a very long time, I understand the limits of web security technologies (what I don't know for sure is "are users comfortable with the idea", hence this post) ...

There are ways that it can be made sufficiently difficult that are beyond the scope of this post - if it was as simple as you say, why aren't all of the hacker groups in "LulzSec" and "Anonymous" behind bars?

But again this takes away from the point of this post which seem to continue to tend towards a "nope" answer ... which is itself ... interesting.

Cheers.

@qwerty (cool handle btw)


You seem to be suggesting that there IS NO solution to the problem of crime in Trinidad? Care to clarify?

And building on your own analogy - a patch with a smaller hole = smaller/slower leak => Progress!

Cheers.

proxy the request through something like anonymouse.org

Their IP will be listed instead.

Sumana, what have you done?!?!?

[bluespeed]

I knew someone who gave the CIA info and they rerouted the info to ttps.

[Bizzare]

Is there any reward for reporting
I know at least two Tuners who are involved in drug related activity. I know this without a doubt.
But I'll only snitch for a reward
