couldnt criminals use this to distract police even easier?
example: you want to rob a bank, you get a few friends that have these phones to report some non-existant disturbance on the other end of town, then when the police are off responding to that you rob your bank.
before, this was less feasible because one had to actually call and speak to an officer to inform them of a (false) situation.
now it can be blamed on cats, stuff in pockets touching keys, or little brothers and sisters fiddling with the buttons.
or what if everybody just started reporting our criminal government for all the crimes they commit?
How does one start a boycott? Apple seems to have taken the mark of the beast.

Ok, for the ignorant - Apple does NOT create every app on the itunes app store, just as Google does not create every app on the android marketplace.
So really, a boycott against Apple will just make you look silly and ill-informed. Boycott the app's developer instead.

Oh come on. When was the last time an ATSer let looking silly and ill informed get in the way of a good debate?

Apple has approved this?

I made iphone apps for a living and once was asked to remove a burp sound by Apple. I am happy to see that domestic spying is ok and burps are not. Thank you Apple for being there to stop me from corrupting the world with burp noises. Who is surrounded by suspicious activity so much that they need an app? I'm all about public safety but I also know how to use a phone. This is only feeding into paranoia and will only cause pain. I doubt this will lead to anything positive.
