Picture messaging as personal protection tool
‘My Mobile Witness’ stores timestamped photo messages and texts for free
NEW YORK – “Don’t try to hurt me — I’ve deposited a letter with my lawyer. If he doesn’t hear from me within 24 hours, he will mail it to the police. It details all your murky dealings.”
That hard-boiled plot device from detective novels and movies is coming to life in a free service called My Mobile Witness from a startup in Pittsburgh.
It works like this: When you’re in a situation you’re uneasy about — say you’re letting a stranger into the house — snap a picture of the person with your phone and message it to My Mobile Witness. Or just tap out a text message. My Mobile Witness time-stamps and stores the message, and if you end up getting into trouble, it gives law enforcement access to your “vault” of messages.

This could definitely be a must have for everyone. I know personal safety can be an issue for everyone and especially for Realtors as we have to meet people that we do not know all the time in places unfamiliar with us. This could be used not only as a deterrent but hopefully as a way to just get out of trouble!
