Camera Phone Helps Find Killer
For all the stories of just how camera phones are just a violation of privacy, it's always good to see more positive stories about camera phones - even if they involve a murder case. Found over at picturephoning.com comes the news of a killer who has been caught thanks, in part, to camera phone photos taken by a bystander at the hotel where the killing occurred when she saw something she considered suspicious. The article is worded poorly, so it's a little unclear what made her think something suspicious was going on. However, the shots from her camera phone helped the police track down the person they say is the killer.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
