The problem is not in the technology. It isn't even all that useful to the regime. They already know where the protesters are. The problem, as always, is in the baton they hold in the other hand.
I wonder if this doesn't encourage people.

Well at least they notify first. US police would just start beating you and throwing you into pens, if you are lucky you won't get coated in pepper spray or hit by a sound cannon. Watch the DNC and RNC conventions next year for examples with their multi-million dollar taxpayer funded "security". But I guess this indicates police everywhere can now just record the phone numbers of everyone in the area to mark people f…

Jim Morrison said it best (screaming): "You're all a bunch of fucking slaves." ... "Maybe you like being pushed around." ... "Maybe you love getting your face stuck in the shit." ... "How long is it going to last?"

Cameras that are not attached to phones I suppose will become more popular at protests anywhere such a system is in place.
