This is not a commercial article and it can make money only for those who will implement this idea into action (or for those who will appropriates and will patent this idea). 

I hope that in the future, this article will save the people from the rapes, murders and other disasters.

My idea can't save people from planned crime, but I'm sure that it will prevent spontaneous, unplanned crime.

So, idea is very simple. The bigest part of poeple in the world already have a powerful weapon - cell phone. And the world already have another powerful weapon - internet.

Ofcourse, if someone will try to record video with crime in their phone, he/she runs the risk double because it is likely phone will be taken away and a person can be punished for that tried to record video.

And now imagine, what happens if the victim will turn cell phone against criminal and will say "Sorry, but video with your face is recorded in place which you can't access. The only right thing what you can to do, is turn around and go away!". I'm sure, in 99% this happens - criminal will turn around and will go away.

Yes, it takes time to take phone and press button, but it will be a lot of faster than try to call police, family or friends. It will be much more effective - the victim know that he/she may be unable to make a call but if there is only one click on button - it is possilble to do this. Also, criminal will know - after that click he/she is recorded and he/she can't do anything to create alibi, there is no reason to take away victims phone... the best is to go away and compose a story as to why he/she wanted to do it...

As you already understood - the idea is that after clicking button on the phone, the video is automatically recorded on server, never mind it's goverment, police or any commercial company (like google, facebook, phone developer company, etc.).

Ofcourse, here are a lot of nuanses like possibility of false records (tomfoolery), set-up costs, records storage, no internet connection or paid service (not for all), etc. Believe me, all the nuances can be resolved.

Some solution ideas:

  • no internet connection or paid service - if the idea implementer decides to use this service for a profit, or if in place where happens crime is not Internet connection, victim can bluff. Like any pocker player - bluff. Just press button and say that video is recorded... Who will knows is it true or not?

  • false records - the same solution like with false calls to any rescue service.

  • records storage - not a problem at all, it's not a youtube where people uploads over ten or hundreds of videos each. After record file can be sent to garda (police) and deleted. There are tons of solutions.

  • set-up costs - I don't know numbers, but any way it will pay off both the government and the commercial company. 

- Goverment will save money in future. Of course human life can not be calculated in money, but unfortunately, in our world can be... So, for goverment crime also means police, doctors and rescue costs. If government will implement the idea, in future the Country will save money on fuel and other resources. Of course salaries for policemen and doctors they will have to pay, but they can focus on other important things. In short and cynical - saved taxpayer, saved resources and staff for the same salary doing other important tasks. 

- Commercial companies have a lot of ways earn money from this - popularity and well sold product(s) for the first implementer, paid service possibilities, income from advertisers, income from additional product and/or accessories, etc. In short - if your manager can not tell you how to make money from this idea, hire me :)

  • Also, this service can be connected with call to garda (police) or rescue service.

I hope that in the future it will save some lives.

Please, if you think that idea can be usable - share it with others. It will be good if this article will be read by someone who can implement this idea.
