“See Something, Send Something” is an app which is now available to download, for free, on both iPhones and Android.
“See Something, Send Something” is a new tool which is available to New Yorkers in the fight against terrorism. The smartphone app allows people across New York to send photos and information of both suspicious looking people and suspicious looking activities to officials with the tap of a screen. More importantly, New Yorkers can now do so anonymously, without the fear of either appearing discriminatory or of reprisal for their report.
According to New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo, who formally launched the app just after the latest terror attacks in Paris, after receiving a terror report via the app the New York State Intelligence Center will then look at it and evaluate its credibility before alerting the relevant enforcement agency if it is deemed to have been a viable claim. Once the app is launched on a cell phone the user must enter their name and phone number and they can then send information on any suspicious sightings right away. “Please send a note with as much detail as possible” the app tells users sending messages, and it also includes information on what sorts of activity should be reported, such as bags left unattended on public transport. The app is also reportedly available in Colorado, Louisiana and Ohio. Why it is not a global app boggles the mind.
Per New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D’Amico: “‘See Something, Send Something’ is similar to a telephone crime tip line or hot line but is not an alternative to calling 911 in emergencies. If you see something that may be linked to terrorism, send something.”

DISCLAIMER: THE BALANCE OF THIS BLOGPOST IS OPINION EDITORIAL AND MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME. IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE OR DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT I THINK (from here on this is not me “reporting”, this is me speaking / typing my mind) THEN STOP READING NOW. FOR THE REST OF YOU I OFFER THE FOLLOWING THOUGHTS ON GLOBAL TERROR AND TODAY’S SOCIETY: It is a sad reality that at this time people are afraid to voice their concerns about potential terrorist activities because of the very real potential for blow back. Say something, speak out, and you risk not only semi-literal public castration but also the very real potential for losing your job, your home, even your family… it’s simply amazing. Our society has become so overly sensitive, so completely “pussified”, that we are not only slowly becoming veritable prisoners but we are constantly living in fear, just as terrorists wish for us to do. Today’s 2015 “PC” society is simply inane.
