New York City will install new technology to allow 911 centers to receive images from cell phones. Citizens will be able to send still images or videos from camera phones or computers, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
The city joins several other municipalities that are testing similar services, though it is probably the largest to try such a project.
Bloomberg said this week he hopes to expand the technology to eventually serve the city's 311 services, used to report quality-of-life problems like potholes.
New Yorkers have already used their phones to take a bite out of crime; Newsday reported that in 2005 two schoolgirls snapped a picture of a subway flasher with a cell phone, and gave it to police, who tracked down and arrested the man.
PEOPLE USE IT TO TAKE MYSPACE PICS ALL THE TIME. WHY NOT USE IT TO SOLVE CRIME...?
lol It's true.

I always thought that was a brilliant idea.

I think pregnancy would be the only thing that might possibly make me more anxious, but no. 3 months from now, I take my biochemistry GRE which I need to apply for grad school. (Booooo!)
