Could this app be written?

Thailand has been called LOS, but now that does not mean Land of Smiles, it means the Land Of Scams, and they are run by the police there. There is a new scam that happened on a UK couple who are IT professionals. They were falsely accused of stealing merchandise at a duty free shop in the BKK airport. It left them over $10,000 poorer. Google "British couple fights Bangkok airport extortionists" for further information.

But suppose there was an app on their cell phone that could function while the Blackberry or Iphone was closed and in their holster. At belt level, the camera could be set in a wide angle and the audio be recording, and at a set interval, it would call another person's number or make an internet connection to a server and drop the AV file. There would not be a trace of the file on the phone, and it would continue until the owner of the phone would make it stop. To the world, the cell phone would look like it was just sitting their waiting for calls.


This wouldn't set well with the Thai authorities, but it might make the victim's country's embassy take them more seriously, at the very least, the world could see it on Youtube.

Transparency is always a wonderful thing, whatever the country, and if corrupt law enforcement officials can be outed, that is a good thing.
