    I think that the dissemination of potential criminal suspects should remain in control of the police.

    The police could quite easily set-up something such as this site. To be able to sign up (for free), post a video of a 'crime' seems a little to vigilante for me.

    This is a very good application of web 2 potential. Follows case of a US techie who's xbox and laptop were stolen. The police were of no help so he posted information on his blog that went wiral. The result is he got his xbox and some other stuff back.

    Eww. Totally gameable and prone to abuses. It will be used to play against people reputation. Very scary.

    It's just the next big jump into an Orwellian reality. I see any number of likely potential abuses, and will not be the least bit surprised when they play themselves out.

    Right-no need to worry about Big Brother if you ARE Big Brother. Well, in my case it would be Brotha.

    The entire internet is gameable and prone to abuses, i.e. file sharing, mp3, YouTube, etc. My opinion is great job guys on creating something that will make our communities a better place to live.

    Gee, let's go stalk some hookers and see what we can find! Better yet, let's entrap someone we don't like - they get arrested and we make money!

    This is scary, scary shit.
