I think this is a great idea, but it has its flaws.
I think for this to work, cell phones (PDAs etc.) would have to have some sort of software installed. Maybe this will develop into a device that calls the phone that you point it at. that would be cool. Awfully obnoxious if someone abused it tho. (+) |

That's why it needs built-in...y'know,
anti-abuse thingies. |
|
| |
why text when you can talk? or do you mean multi-texting? sme mssge 2 mny pepes? |
|
| |
Precisely...phone calls take too long, a
text message would be quick and
informative. Though one would hope a
policeman would employ some
semblance of proper grammar and such
if provided with a keyboard. |

I do admire those people who can text quickly. it takes me ages to put a sentence or two together. |
|
| |
where I work, I am getting phone voice messages via text messages - quite weird. |

In the nethelands you can subscribe to such a service, it gives you the weather forecasts, traffic jams, accidents, disasters, you name it. All for the area you are in. |
|
| |
Would this not cause more accidents? Do you really want drivers reading their mobile phone texts on the move? |
|
| |
As if cops had nothing better to do. Maybe it could hook up to the guys who control the road condition message boards. |

The text could be displayed on a Heads Up Display. I saw an HUD on a car several years ago, and with OnStar, etc. it wouldn't be a bad upgrade. |

there are a few universities which have similar-but-
different text message systems, in case of
emergencies. it wouldn't require any special
software, just access to GPS data on the phones,
which law enforcement already has in most cases. |

<wildly off topic> The title reminds me of my standard explanation of why it's best not to perform brain surgery on oneself: "Now I make a medial incision to the left temporal lobe, insert the ... CUTTING! IM CUTTING! GOO COME OUT NOW! GET IN! GET IN!" |

This seems like a natural Twitter add-on feature,
create location based Hash-Tags for major crimes and
accidents. That way your client could filter based on
your GPS location, a circle of interest (possibly based
on direction and speed). |
|
| |
I'll probably submit this as a separate idea once I flesh
it out. |
