Well, it isn't MY technology. And yes, technology can indeed be abused. But merely collecting evidence does not necessarily amount to 'abuse'. _I_ had an idea, a year ago, for a "personal black box". A way for a smartphone to continuously record information, with the intent of protecting the owner. I see nothing wrong with using such a device, and you shoudn't, either, unless you think that a typical person shouldn't be able to protect himself. The main trick, I figured, was that it would be useful to protect against the loss, or even the immediate destruction of the smartphone. Sure, the device could continuously record video (and other data) in main memory, or into a micro-SD card, but such data could be lost if the smartphone was destroyed. My idea was that the data might be instantly uploaded by cell-data, but only temporarily held at the cell site (say for a minute or so), but discarded if the subsequent information indicated that it was no longer necessary. But if communication with the smartphone was suddenly cut off, this information would be kept, safely, and probably forward to that person's computer. This would minimize the actual transmission costs for the data, since the vast majority of that data would never actually be transmitted back for permanent storage.
CRYING NAZBOL, Batshit Crazy here is on record as thinking that technology is the ultimate tool for the state to exterminate humanity. If he really believes that then there's one really easy way to fight back. Get off the internet. "...

merely collecting evidence of what? Are you AGAING advocating government surveillance? And yes it is your technology. Off the top of my head you've promoted joogle phone surveillance, radar satellite surveillance, IR video surveillance and electronic warfare against multiple countries by the pentagon-starlink mafia. All of your views are completely ANTI-LIBERTARIAN. Every single post of yours is uncritical promotion of technical garbage that only serves the interests of the state and the 'private' corporate mafia...that produces the technical garbage you constantly promote.
_I_ had an idea, a year ago, for a "personal black box". A way for a smartphone to continuously record information, with the intent of protecting the owner.
more promotion of technical garbage that doesn't do what you claim it does. In the real world your 'inventions' do not work.
I see nothing wrong with using such a device, and you shoudn't, either, unless you think that a typical person shouldn't be able to protect himself.
your device is a surveillance device spying on people. You are surveilling people without their consent.
A problem with these types of "crime news" "neighborhood" "snitch" "nanny" "home cam alert" apps, beyond the spyveillance permastorage datasharing etc... is that they are purposefully injecting mass amounts of abject subconscious fear FUD and propaganda steering into their userbase, then portraying themselves as saviour, plainly advertising Fear and Saviour as the solution in their marketing pitches, growing people's state of mental weakness and dependency on them as each month of service goes by. If companies like these want to sell a feelgood emotional support apps, fine, but be honest about it, and what they can and cannot do when the shit hits the fan. If you're in developing, imminent, or active harm to person or property... depending on some "app" company to save you in those times... is not going to help, at that point they're only there to mop up after the fact. Use 911, or call and message friends, all of which have delay. Broadcast scream to P2P in the area, carry a weapon, run away, fight back, and... use your brain to both get out of and avoid getting yourself into those potential problems in the first place. Funny you don't see those apps doing that... teaching people confidence, self defense, avoidance, situational awareness, preparation and planning, buddy system, etc... A lot of apps will have interesting use cases in this field. But when it matters, you aren't going to be thinking about how to fuck with your phone... your primitive fight or flight brain will have already decided for you whether to use it as distraction, head bashing tool, or as an excess unbalanced weight to drop in flight.
