Got cuffed in Zuccotti Park? It's never been easier to let your friends and family know that you've been arrested, thanks to a handy app called “I'm Getting Arrested” for Android.
The app was developed with the protestors in mind, reports CNET. (“Inspired by a real Occupy Wall Street incident. Free to the other 99%,” the app's developer, Quadrant 2, writes on the Android Market's site.) The app allows users to send messages in a flash to friends, family, and “your lawyer,” by creating a custom message beforehand with a set of contacts ready to go. So during your arrest following a demonstration in Times Square, you can quickly tap the bull's-eye on the app to notify everyone about your whereabouts.
I thought they were against corporations? They have andriod phones? Isn't the Android operating system a Google product and the phones made, marketed and sold by major corporations? Hmmmm?
ReplyDeleteI think more precisely they are against corporate influence in our political process.
ReplyDeleteThat app is funny. I can see where something like that could be useful in other situations, too.
