Building a Society of Informers, One App at a Time

Gross story out of Texas about a family who used a police app
called “iwatchharriscounty” to get the cops called on their
neighbors, leading the entire family to be arrested. (One of them
has leukemia. An “illegal weapon” and drugs were found by
cops.)

Worst part, as
reported by KHOU:

Neighbors claim they watched a constant flow of traffic to the
house and even watched suspicious activity in the wee hours of the
morning.

“There would be a skateboarder that would come down our street,”
said neighbor Carlie Padgett. “He had a bag in his hand and he
would throw it in their yard and pick up a bag and skateboard back
out.”…

Neighbors point to the evidence pulled from the house as their
proof and many stood watching as the entire family was
arrested.

“A lot of cop cars,” recalled Padgett. “The doors were all open
on their cars. You could tell they had been searched heavily and I
was loving it.”

May you walk the straight and narrow all your days, Ms.
Padgett.
