U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers detain a suspect as they conduct a targeted enforcement operation in Los Angeles, California, U.S. on February 7, 2017.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Una nueva aplicación para teléfonos inteligentes ya está disponible en español y para toda una nueva audiencia: inmigrantes indocumentados que pueden necesitar ayuda antes, durante y después de una incursión de ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

La aplicación gratuita, llamada Cell 411 es una aplicación de teléfono disponible para Android e iOS; permite a los usuarios organizarse en “celdas” o grupos regionales que son descentralizados y gestionados por los propios usuarios. Esto permite a los usuarios que están en peligro alertar a otros miembros de su celda de la naturaleza de su problema y la ubicación exacta donde necesitan ayuda. Al enviar una alerta, las coordenadas GPS del usuario se transmiten a sus amigos de confianza con la dirección paso a paso la dirección a su ubicación. Esto permite en esencia a la colaboración abierta en emergencias sin la participación de la policía, que a menudo no son de confianza de las comunidades de inmigrantes y minorías.

El startup, Cell 411 Inc. fue fundada por Virgil Vaduva, que es un inmigrante mismo, después de ser arrestado durante una protesta de brutalidad contra la policía, después de lo cual no tenía medios para alertar a su familia y amigos de lo sucedido y su paradero. La aplicación se construyó como un medio descentralizado de ayudar a las comunidades y barrios a organizarse para ofrecerse mutuamente ayuda mutua en caso de emergencias sin pedir ayuda del gobierno, la policía y otras agencias estatales.

La aplicación permite a los usuarios enviar alertas de emergencia sobre problemas médicos, abuso policial, problemas con vehículos, crimen y otras cuestiones; las alertas se etiquetan con coordenadas GPS exactas y los amigos pueden obtener instrucciones paso a paso a la ubicación de los usuarios, si deciden venir y ofrecer ayuda. Los usuarios pueden transmitir vídeo en directo a sus celdas y el video no puede ser borrado por un usuario malintencionado que puede tener acceso a su teléfono. El video también puede ser transmitido en vivo a YouTube y Facebook y se distribuye al instante a todos los amigos, por lo que es prácticamente imposible de ser destruido o borrado a través de la censura.

El año pasado la compañía introdujo un botón de pánico bluetooth, que se puede usar en una muñeca, llavero o un broche para cinturón y permite a los usuarios enviar nuestra alerta de emergencia mucho más rápido, sin tener que desbloquear o tocar su teléfono inteligente.

La aplicación Cell 411 puede ser descargada de http://getcell411.com/download o desde la Google Store o la App Store.

El breve video a continuación describe cómo funciona Cell 411 y cómo puede ayudar a las comunidades a participar en actividades de ayuda mutua (en inglés).

Otro video didáctico también incluye detalles sobre cómo funciona la aplicación (en inglés).

This Smartphone App Helps Undocumented Immigrants With ICE Raids https://truthvoice.com/2017/02/this-smartphone-app-helps-undocumented-immigrants-with-ice-raids/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=this-smartphone-app-helps-undocumented-immigrants-with-ice-raids Fri, 24 Feb 2017 09:56:52 +0000 http://truthvoice.com/2017/02/this-smartphone-app-helps-undocumented-immigrants-with-ice-raids/

A smartphone app which has been on our radar screen for the past year is now available in Spanish with new features and to a whole new audience: undocumented immigrants who may need help before, during and after a raid from ICE. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

The app, called Cell 411 is a smartphone app available for both Android and iOS platforms; it allows users to organize themselves in regional “cells” or groups which are decentralized and managed by the users themselves. The cells can have as little as 2 members and as many as 1,000 members or more, allowing users who are in distress to alerts the rest of the cell of the nature of their problem and the exact location of where they need help.  When sending out an alert, the users’s GPS coordinates are broadcast to their trusted friends and cell members with turn by turn direction to their location.  This allows in essence for the crowd-sourcing of emergencies without the involvement of police, which are often not trusted by communities of immigrants and minorities.

The startup, Cell 411 Inc. was founded by Virgil Vaduva, who is an immigrant himself, after being arrested during an anti-police brutality protest after which he had no means to alert his family and friends of what happened and his whereabouts. The app was built as a decentralized means of helping communities and neighborhoods organize themselves to offer each other mutual aid in case of emergencies without asking for assistance from government, police and other state agencies.

You can also create private cells which are only visible to you an not other users, and you can add your friends to your private cells.

The bluetooth button from Cell 411 Inc.

The app allows you to send emergency alerts about medical problems, police abuse, vehicle problems, crime, and other issues; the alerts are tagged with your exact GPS coordinates and your friends can get turn-by-turn directions to your location, should they decide to come and offer you help.  You can stream live video to your cells and friends, and the video cannot be erased by a malicious user who may gain access to your phone.  The video can also be streamed to YouTube and Facebook and is distributed instantly to all your friends, making it nearly impossible to be destroyed.

The app also has a ride-sharing feature available and real-time chat between cell members, allowing users to discuss how an event unfolds in real time in order to offer help as necessary. (Note: chat feature will be released on March 3)

Last year the company introduced a bluetooth panic button, which can be worn on a wrist, key-chain or a belt clip and allows users to send our an emergency alert much faster, without having to unlock or touch their smart phone.

Available in Spanish, English, German, Portuguese and Romanian, the app is free and does not carry any service cost associated with the use.

It can be downloaded from http://getcell411.com/download

The short video below describes how Cell 411 works and how it can help communities engage in mutual aid activities.

Another walkthrough video also goes into more details on how the app functions.

This Mobile App Helps You Fight The U.S. Police State https://truthvoice.com/2017/01/this-mobile-app-helps-you-fight-the-u-s-police-state/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=this-mobile-app-helps-you-fight-the-u-s-police-state Sun, 29 Jan 2017 09:55:56 +0000 http://truthvoice.com/2017/01/this-mobile-app-helps-you-fight-the-u-s-police-state/

A small startup that has been around for less than a year has created a free mobile app aimed at helping Americans and people all over the world resist the police state.  The app, called Cell 411 (or Cell 112 in Europe), is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Romanian, and it helps activists and people from all political shades resist government abuse with decentralized GPS-based alerts and live video features. Whether you are a gun-rights activist, an anti-Trump protester, concerned with police brutality or simply a muslim woman concerned for her safety, this app can help you build decentralized groups, or “cells” of trusted connections which you can then use to dispatch when you need help.

Because this app has been so revolutionary in its approach to building a new way to handle emergencies and the police state, it has been selected by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London to be featured in the “Future of Design” exhibit in 2018.

Think of this app as an “UBER for emergencies” or a “911 on steroids” except it doesn’t involve government, police or people  you don’t trust.  The app was created by a small group of passionate engineers, activists and people concerned with the growth of police state all over the world.  It can be used by anyone with an Android or iOS smartphone and it has tens of thousands of users all over the world.

Here is how it works: users can freely download the app and signup for an account using their e-mail address of Facebook account. Once signed up, a user can join existing public “cells” or groups in their areas, or can create their own cells.  Joining a cell allows you to send and receive emergency alerts from the members of that cell.  Let’s say you want to create a cell in your town called, “Denver Mutual Aid.”  Al users in the Denver area will be notified when this cell was created and can join the cell in order to offer each other help when the members request the help.  There are thousands of cells all over the world used by users for many reasons, such as immigration help, neighborhood watching, etc.

You can also create private cells which are only visible to you an not other users, and you can add your friends to your private cells.

The app allows you to send emergency alerts about medical problems, police abuse, vehicle problems, crime, and other issues; the alerts are tagged with your exact GPS coordinates and your friends can get turn-by-turn directions to your location, should they decide to come and offer you help.  You can stream live video to your cells and friends, and the video cannot be erased by a malicious user who may gain access to your phone.  The video can also be streamed to YouTube and Facebook and is distributed instantly to all your friends, making it nearly impossible to be destroyed.

The app was specifically designed to be resistant to censorship and government surveillance and has been used successfully all over the world to save lives and keep users safe from criminals, police abuse and many other malicious actors.

The company also created a “panic button” which is a bluetooth device that pairs with the mobile app and allows users to issue alerts instantly without having to unlock the phone or spend precious time navigating an app. Recently a “ride sharing” feature was also added to the app to allow users to offer rides to each other when they need help and accept payments for cash, Bitcoin, silver and even bartering.

You can download Cell 411 for Android and Apple devices from http://getcell411.com/download

Diese Mobile-App könnte Ihr Leben retten https://truthvoice.com/2017/01/diese-mobile-app-konnte-ihr-leben-retten/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=diese-mobile-app-konnte-ihr-leben-retten Mon, 09 Jan 2017 11:42:21 +0000 http://truthvoice.com/2017/01/diese-mobile-app-konnte-ihr-leben-retten/

Einer unserer Benutzer beschrieb sie als „ein revolutionäres Hilfsmittel für Änderungen in unserer Gesellschaft.“ Ein anderer nannte sie „krass“ und der frühere, ausgezeichnete Kommissar Barry Cooper von NeverGetBusted.com nannte sie „der neue Notruf, aber sicherer.“  Andere Benutzer beschrieben sie als „geradewegs aus einer Cyberpunk-Geschichte“ und ein Benutzer sagte: „Ich würde sie definitiv eher benutzen, als die Polizei zu rufen!“  Die Ehrungen kommen weiter herein die Einwohner lieben sie überall:

„Das ist genau das, worauf ich gewartet habe.“

„Das ist eine tolle App für Menschen, die in Gebieten leben, in denen die Einwohner und die Polizei nicht gut zusammenarbeiten.“

„Das ist wie UBER für den Notruf!“

„Der Notruf gehört bald der Vergangenheit an …“

Diese neue Mobile-App hat die Welt des Aktivismus im Sturm erobert und die Polizisten hassen sie. Sie heißt Cell 411 und ist eine App, die von Aktivisten für Aktivisten erstellt wurde, aber auch für jeden, der sich in einem Notfall befindet und lieber eine Gruppe vertrauter Freunde als die Polizei rufen möchte.

Die App, die sowohl für Android als auch iOS erhältlich ist, erlaubt es den Benutzern, verschiedene Alarme an vertraute Gruppen aus Familienmitgliedern, Nachbarn und Freunden zu senden. Das Problem der Behandlung von Notfällen ohne Polizeibeteiligung ist in der Debatte über Polizeibrutalität in den Vordergrund getreten, da viele Fälle zeigten, dass die Polizei, die auf Notrufe reagierte, Hunde erschoss, selbstmordgefährdete Personen tötete und oft nicht denjenigen half, die um Hilfe riefen, sondern eher jene verletzt oder sogar tötete.

Die Smartphone-App wird es Ihnen erlauben, private oder öffentliche Gruppen in Ihrem geografischen Gebiet zu erstellen, und sie als Methode zu benutzen, um im Notfall Hilfe zu rufen. Sie können Ihre Freunde benachrichtigen, wenn Sie einen platten Reifen haben, angehalten werden oder ein medizinisches Problem haben, oder wenn die Polizei Sie belästigt. Sie können sogar Live-Video an alle Ihre Freunde streamen und die Möglichkeit vermeiden, dass das Video von der Polizei gelöscht oder Beweise von böswilligen Einzelpersonen vernichtet werden..

Sobald Sie Hilfe anfordern, werden Ihre Freunde Ihre GPS-Koordinaten und eine Schritt-für-Schritt-Wegbeschreibung zu Ihrem Standort erhalten. Sie werden über die voraussichtliche Ankunftszeit und wie weit Ihre Freunde entfernt sind informiert.

Es ist sogar ein „Patrouillenmodus“ verfügbar, der es Ihnen sogar erlaubt, sogenannte „weltweite Alarme“ zu versenden. Das bedeutet, dass jeder, der die App in Ihrem Gebiet benutzt, Benachrichtigungen erhalten wird und zu Hilfe kommen kann, wenn er sich an diesem Tag als guter Samariter fühlt.

Das Beste an dieser App ist, dass sie komplett kostenlos ist und die Option, dem Benutzer die Erstellung von „öffentlichen Gruppen“ zu erlauben, denen jeder beitreten kann, ist sehr leistungsfähig und bietet Gemeinschaften die Möglichkeit zur Selbstkontrolle. Hier sind einige andere Beispiele der fantastischen Möglichkeiten, die diese App bietet:

Eine Gruppe von Nachbarn einer Nachbarschaftswache könnte eine Gruppe erstellen und die App benutzen, um jeden anderen bei Notfällen zu benachrichtigen.

  • Ältere Menschen könnten die App benutzen, um ihre Familienmitglieder zu benachrichtigen, wenn sie ein besonderes Bedürfnis haben.
  • Aktivisten, die Polizeiaktivität oder Polizeimissbrauch beobachten, könnte alle Aktivisten in einem Gebiet benachrichtigen und Video an alle ihre Freunde streamen.
  • Die Abteilung der freiwilligen Feuerwehr könnte ihre Gemeinschaft ermutigen, die App als kostenlose Option zur „Entsendung“ zu benutzen.
  • Schulkinder könnten Alarme senden, wenn sie in der Schule schikaniert oder misshandelt werden.
  • Familienmitglieder könnten Alarme senden, wenn Fahrzeuge eine Panne haben und sie dringend Hilfe benötigen.

Es gibt zahllose andere Möglichkeiten für diese App und die Ersteller zielen mit der App klar auf Benutzer ab, die eigenständig und bei der Reaktion auf Notfälle nicht von Regierungsdiensten und Regierungsangestellten abhängig sein möchten.

Sie können Cell 411 (Cell 112) von http://getcell411.com herunterladen.

Das kurze Video unten erklärt die grundlegenden Funktionen der App.

Mobile Startup Creates Censorship-Proof App to Help Activists And Crime Fighters https://truthvoice.com/2016/08/mobile-startup-creates-censorship-proof-app-to-help-activists-and-crime-fighters/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mobile-startup-creates-censorship-proof-app-to-help-activists-and-crime-fighters Wed, 03 Aug 2016 11:41:56 +0000 http://truthvoice.com/2016/08/mobile-startup-creates-censorship-proof-app-to-help-activists-and-crime-fighters/

Update: Since the publication of this article, Facebook removed and blocked Cell 411 from allowing users to post live video to their own walls; the company is now trying to find a work around the Facebook block and still allow users to present live video streams to Facebook friends.

Startup Cell 411 Inc. (getcell411.com) has created a mobile app that makes it virtually impossible for governments, police and criminals to erase video which could serve as evidence of a crime or abuse.  The app, called Cell 411, has been around for a number of months but the newly-released version has features that are unseen in any other mobile apps used by activists, aiming to fight censorship and also criminal activity.

One recent glaring example of police censoring and blocking an abuse victim from streaming live video of police violence is the recent police shooting and death of Korryn Gaines, which was visited by a SWAT team over an unpaid traffic fine. During the standoff, the police ordered that Facebook turn off Gaines’ Facebook and Instagram accounts in an effort to prevent her from streaming live video to her friends. The police shot and killed Gaines and shot her young child who was hospitalized. Without access to social media, the victim had no opportunity to record and stream what transpired in her apartment.

Cell 411 is an emergency management platform and mobile app, which allows users to alert trusted contacts in case of an emergency. Whether it is a medical emergency, a car break-down, police interaction or government abuse, the app can alert trusted contacts in real time with the type and exact location of the emergency, allowing users to avoid interaction with police if possible and only involve individuals they trust. The app has been gaining traction in crime-ridden countries like South Africa and has been used to build neighborhood watch groups and also activist groups throughout the world.

Furthermore, Cell 411 allows users to stream live video and audio to potentially thousands or tens of thousands of users allowing them to download the video streamed by a friend to a local device.  The video can be distributed to large numbers of users in real time, making it impossible to be completely erased from any servers.  To add to this impressive list of features, the latest release will allow users to stream live video to their own Facebook wall, their own YouTube Live channel, and the Cell 411 official TV channels on Facebook and YouTube.  These features increase the distribution footprint for video streams, making it even more difficult for evidence to be removed or erased. The video is also saved on the local device in case a forensic copy needs to be recovered at a later time.

Shortly after the shooting of Philando Castile, police officers confiscated his fiancee’s smart phone and attempted to erase the footage by accessing her Facebook account and removing the Facebook Live video she recorded,” said Virgil Vaduva, founder of Cell 411, “not to mention the recent example of Korryn Gaines who had her Facebook and Instagram accounts suspended by police shortly before police shot and killed her and shot her five year old son,” said Vaduva.

While it is illegal to do so, there have been numerous cases of both criminals and government employees attempting to destroy recorded video evidence from devices or social media accounts or prevent users from recording and streaming video of alleged abuse. Our platform allows users to create a wide and decentralized network for distribution of video in real time to a large number of trusted users, making it very difficult if not impossible to destroy,” said Vaduva.

The Cell 411 app allows users to stream video to connected Cell 411 users, save it to the local device if the user’s device lacks an Internet connection, stream it to Facebook, YouTube and other distribution platforms the users choose to engage. The video cannot be erased from the platform once it is streamed and it can be downloaded by any of the trusted contacts chosen by the user.

While Cell 411 has received wide criticism from law enforcement, with Police One claiming that it endangers the lives of police officers, the app has also become extremely popular throughout the world and has been selected by the Victoria & Albert Museum to be featured in the Future of Design Exhibit in London in 2017. The exhibit will feature objects, ideas and designs which are likely to influence the future of mankind in a positive way.

The company denies that the app is aimed solely to law enforcement and points out how it is being widely used by neighborhood watch groups and families to keep each other safe in emergencies.

We are simply building a platform to make the world a little bit better and safer, and encourage users to interact with each other on a voluntary basis. Good ideas don’t require force in order to be adopted, and users are voluntarily choosing our app because they want a non-violent way to solve conflict and keep each other safe,” said Vaduva.

The company has ambitious plans for growth and is planning to build a world-wide drone fleet and adding features to allow users to dispatch monitoring drones to locations where violence is likely to take place or medical response is necessary.

Makers of Cell 411 Mobile App Vow to Protect RNC Demonstrators From Police Abuse https://truthvoice.com/2016/07/makers-of-cell-411-mobile-app-vow-to-protect-rnc-demonstrators-from-police-abuse/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=makers-of-cell-411-mobile-app-vow-to-protect-rnc-demonstrators-from-police-abuse Sat, 16 Jul 2016 09:54:38 +0000 http://truthvoice.com/2016/07/makers-of-cell-411-mobile-app-vow-to-protect-rnc-demonstrators-from-police-abuse/

It turns out that Cell 411 Inc., the makers behind the emergency response app Cell 411 are concerned that demonstrators at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland may be assaulted and abused by police during the convention. To the dismay of many Cleveland political activists, the Cleveland Police have taken measures to handle a massive number of arrests daily. The City has plans to process up to 1,000 arrests per day, which raised eyebrows from community activists.

Cleveland also paid ahead of time $250,000 to reserve 200 extra jail rooms in the Cuyahoga County jail, according to the Republican National Committee budget.

When asked about the preparations, Calvin Williams, the Cleveland police chief said, “We don’t want anybody to trample on anybody else’s rights,” but did not clarify if he will make use of the preparations to arrest and incarcerate such a large number of people.

Virgil Vaduva, founder of Cell 411 also expressed concern at the news of police expanding their footprint: “America has a rich history of political dissent, and the heavy police presence, surveillance cameras and free speech exclusion areas are not indicators that this tradition of freedom of speech will be respected.”

Vaduva also explained how his company is planning on protecting activists during the RNC demonstrators saying, “We have created an official RNC public cell in Cleveland that anyone can join so that activists in the area can issue real-time alerts should they experience abuse at the hands of police.  We have also upgraded our server capacity for live video streaming, so activists using Cell 411 can stream live video to the entire RNC cell to ensure police accountability and prevent police from erasing any evidence of abuse and wrongdoing.”

Cell 411 is a mobile app which was created to allow individuals to respond and issue emergencies to trusted friends, neighbors and family members without using 911 or involving police, making it an ideal app for activists, neighborhood watchers and others willing to participate in helping their communities stay safe without calling police.

The company also said that they are sponsoring the official video feeds from several independent journalist outfits like The Activist Post and Cop Block.  Live video streams from journalists will be made available around the clock via the Cell 411 RNC cell and also social media video feeds like Facebook Live and YouTube.

Note: this article will be updated with additional information as it becomes available during the next several days. To join the RNC cell, download Cell 411, tap on Explore Public Cells and search for “RNC” to join the official cell. You will receive real time alerts and video feeds.

Esse Aplicativo Móvel Pode Salvar A Sua Vida https://truthvoice.com/2016/05/esse-aplicativo-movel-pode-salvar-a-sua-vida/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=esse-aplicativo-movel-pode-salvar-a-sua-vida Sat, 14 May 2016 09:53:31 +0000 http://truthvoice.com/2016/05/esse-aplicativo-movel-pode-salvar-a-sua-vida/

copcell411

Um usuário descreveu como “uma ferramenta revolucionária para a mudança em nossa sociedade.” Outro chamou de “Fodão” e Barry Cooper do NeverGetBusted.com que é ex-detetive da polícia decorado chamou de “o novo 911, mas mais seguro.”  Outros usuários descreveram-no como “uma linha direta de algum cyberpunk de ficção” e um usuário disse que “Eu definitivamente usaria isto antes de chamar a polícia!”  Os elogios continuam chegando e a polícia odeia isso:

“É simplesmente o que eu estava esperando”

“É um aplicativo ótimo para pessoas que vivem em áreas onde os cidadãos e a polícia não trabalhamos bem juntos”

“É como o UBER para 911!”

“Em breve, 911 será uma coisa do passado…”

Este novo aplicativo móvel tem sido um sucesso de ativismo e policiais odeiam isso. É chamado Cell411  e é um aplicativo criado por ativistas para ativistas, mas também para qualquer pessoa que pode encontrar-se em uma emergência e querendo chamar por um grupo de amigos confiáveis, ao invés da polícia.

O aplicativo, que está disponível tanto nas plataformas iOS e Android, permite que aos usuários emitir alertas de vários grupos confiáveis de membros da família, vizinhos e amigos. A questão de abordar situações de emergência sem envolvimento da polícia veio para o primeiro plano do debate devido a brutalidade policial como muitos casos têm mostrado a resposta da polícia a emergências e atirando cães, matando indivíduos suicidas e muitas vezes não ajudando aqueles que pedem ajuda, mas sim prejudicando-os ou até mesmo matando-os.

O aplicativo de smartphone permitirá que você crie grupos públicos ou privados, em sua área geográfica e use-os como um método para enviar ajuda em caso de emergência. Você pode notificar seus amigos quando você tiver um pneu furado, ficar parado, tem um problema médico ou quando a polícia está perseguindo você. Você pode até mesmo espelhar um vídeo ao vivo para todos os seus amigos e evitar a possibilidade do vídeo ser excluído pela polícia ou provas sendo destruídas por um indivíduo mal-intencionado.

Uma vez solicitada ajuda, seus amigos receberão suas coordenadas por GPS e direções passo-a-passo para a sua localização exata; Você será notificado de uma ETA e o quão longe seus amigos estão.

Há mesmo um modo de “patrulha” disponível que ainda permite que você envie os chamados “alertas globais”, significando que qualquer pessoa usando o aplicativo em sua área receberá notificações e será capaz de ajudar, para que eles se sintam como um bom samaritano naquele dia.

A melhor coisa sobre este aplicativo é que é totalmente gratuito, e a opção de permitir que os usuários criarem “grupos públicos” que qualquer um poderia entrar é muito poderosa e oferece as comunidades a opção de se auto policiar. Aqui estão alguns outros exemplos das possibilidades fantásticas que este aplicativo oferece:

Por exemplo, um grupo da vigilância de bairro de vizinhos poderia criar um grupo e usar o aplicativo para notificar um ao outro em caso de emergência.

  • Pessoas idosas poderiam usar o aplicativo para notificar todos os membros da sua família, se eles estão em uma necessidade específica.
  • Ativistas observando a atividade da polícia ou abuso da polícia poderiam notificar todos os ativistas em uma área e espalhar um vídeo para todos os seus amigos.
  • Departamentos de bombeiros voluntários poderiam incentivar suas comunidades para usar o aplicativo como uma opção livre de “despacho”.
  • Crianças em idade escolar podem enviar alertas, se elas estão sendo maltratado ou abusado na escola.
  • Membros da família podem enviar alertas quando os veículos quebram e precisam de ajuda urgente.

Existem inúmeras outras possibilidades para este aplicativo, e os criadores estão claramente visando o aplicativo para usuários que desejam ser autossuficientes e não dependem de serviços do governo e funcionários do governo para responder às emergências.

Você pode baixar Cell411 do http://getcell411.com.

La aplicación de celular que la policía no desea que tengas

Un usuario la describió como “una herramienta revolucionaria para el cambio en nuestra sociedad”. Otro la llamó “radical” y Barry Cooper de NeverGetBusted.com, un ex detective de la policía con condecoraciones, la llamó “el nuevo 911 pero más segura”.  Otros usuarios la han descripto como “salida de una historia de ficción ciberpunk” y un usuario dijo

¡Definitivamente voy a usarla antes de llamar a la policía!”. Los elogios siguen llegando y la policía la odia:

“Es justo lo que estaba esperando”

“Es una gran aplicación para las personas que viven en las zonas en las que la gente y la policía no trabajan bien juntos”

“¡Es como el UBER del 911!”

“Pronto, el 911será historia…”

Está nueva aplicación móvil ha tomado al mundo del activismo por sorpresa y la policía la odia. Se llama Cell 411 y es una aplicación creada por activistas para activistas, pero también para cualquiera que se encuentre en una situación de emergencia y prefiera llamar a un grupo de amigos confiables en lugar de a la policía.

La aplicación, que está disponible tanto en las plataformas Android como las plataformas  iOS, permite a los usuarios emitir varias alertas a varios grupos confiables de familiares, vecinos y amigos. El problema de enfrentarse a emergencias sin la involucrar a la policía ha sido una cuestión de importancia en el debate acerca de la violencia policíaca, ya que en muchos casos la policía responde a llamadas de emergencia disparando a perros, matando a individuos con tendencias suicidas y, con frecuencia, no ayudando a aquellos que solicitan la ayuda, sino que los ponen en peligro y en ocasiones incluso causan su muerte.

Un grupo público permite a los voluntarios vigilar Central Park en búsqueda de actividad criminal

La aplicación de celular le permitirá crear grupos privados o públicos en su área geográfica y utilizarlos como un método para proporcionar ayuda en caso de emergencia. Usted podrá notificar a amigos cuando pinche una rueda, cuando lo detengan, si tiene un problema médico o cuando la policía lo esté maltratando. Usted podrá incluso transmitir video en directo a todos sus amigos y evitar la posibilidad de que el video sea borrado por la policía o que la evidencia sea destruida por un individuo malintencionado.

Una vez que solicite ayuda, sus amigos recibirán sus coordinadas de GPS e indicaciones paso a paso para llegar a su ubicación exacta. Usted recibirá una notificación ETA y le indicará qué tan lejos sus amigos se encuentran.

Hay incluso disponible un “modo patrulla” que le permitirá enviar las denominadas “alertas global”, lo que significa que cualquier persona que se encuentre utilizando la aplicación en el área recibirá su notificación y podrá acercarse a ayudar en caso que se sientan como un buen samaritano es día.

Lo mejor de esta aplicación es que es completamente gratuita y la opción que permite a los usuarios crear “grupos públicos” a los que cualquiera puede unirse es muy poderosa y ofrece a las comunidades la opción de actuar como policía autónoma. Aquí hay algunos ejemplos adicionales de las fantásticas posibilidades que ofrece esta aplicación:

Por ejemplo, un grupo de vigilancia vecinal podría crear un grupo y utilizar la aplicación para enviar notificaciones los unos a los otros en caso de emergencias.

  • Las personas mayores pueden utilizar esta aplicación para notificar a los miembros de su familia si se encuentran con una necesidad particular.
  • Los activistas que observan actividades de la policía o abusos policíacos pueden notificar a todos los activistas en el área y transmitir video a todos sus amigos.
  • Los departamentos de bomberos voluntarios pueden animar a sus comunidades a utilizar la aplicación como una opción de “llamada” gratuita.
  • Los niños en edad escolar pueden enviar alertas si están siendo intimidados o abusados en la escuela.
  • Los miembros de una familia pueden enviar alertas cuando sus vehículos se descomponen y necesitan ayuda inmediata.

Existen incontables posibilidades para esta aplicación y los creadores apuntan claramente esta aplicación a los usuarios que desean ser autosuficientes y no depender de los servicios públicos y de los empleados del gobierno para responder a las emergencias.

copcell411

L’application que les flics ne veulent pas que vous ayez

Un utilisateur la décrit comme « un outil révolutionnaire qui va changer notre société ». Un autre dit qu’elle est « badass » et Bary Cooper de NeverGetBusted.com qui est un ancien détective de police décoré en dit que c’est « le nouveau 911 mais en plus sûr ». Les autres utilisateurs la décrivent comme « tout droit sortie d’une fiction cyberpunk » et un autre dit « Je veux vraiment utiliser cette application avant d’appeler un policier ! » Les distinctions se font légion et la police la déteste :

« C’est ce que j’attendais depuis longtemps »

« C’est une très bonne application pour les personnes qui vivent dans des zones où les citoyens et la police ne s’entendent pas »

« C’est comme UBER pour le 911 ! »

« Bientôt, 911 appartiendra au passé… »

Cette nouvelle application mobile a pris d’assaut le monde d’activisme et les polices la détestent. Elle s’appelle Cell411 et c’est une application qui a été créé par des activistes pour des activistes, mais aussi pour n’importe qui qui se trouve en situation d’urgence et qui voudrait appeler un groupe d’amis à qui il fait confiance plutôt que la police.

L’application, qui est disponible sur les plateformes Android et IOS, permet aux utilisateurs d’émettre diverses alertes à des groupes de membre de la famille, du voisinage et d’amis en qui ils ont confiance. La question de faire face aux urgences, sans intervention de la police est venu à l’avant-garde du débat sur la brutalité policière car de nombreux cas ont montré que la police répond aux situations d’urgence avec la brutalité et tirent sur des chiens, tuent des personnes suicidaires et souvent n’aident pas ceux qui demandent de l’aide, mais les blesse et les tuent.

L’application sur smartphone vous autorisera à créer des groupes privés ou publics dans votre zone géographique et de les utiliser comme une méthode pour demander de l’aide en cas d’urgence. Vous pouvez avertir vos amis quand vous avez un pneu à plat, vous faites tirez dessus, avez un problème médical ou lorsque les policiers vous harcèlent. Vous pouvez aussi enregistrer des vidéos en direct pour vos amis et éviter la possibilité que la vidéo soit détectée par la police ou que l’évidence ne soit détruite par un individu malveillant.

Une fois que vous avez demandé de l’aide, vos amis recevront votre coordonnées GPS et les directions vers votre emplacement exacte ; vous serez avertis d’un ETA et où sont vos amis.

Il y a même un « mode patrouille » disponible qui peut même vous permettre d’envoyer ce que l’on appelle des « alertes globales » ce qui signifie que n’importe qui utilisant l’application dans votre zone recevra des notifications et sera capable de venir et de vous aider, et même se sentir comme un bon samaritain.

La meilleure chose à propos de cette application c’est qu’elle est complètement gratuite, et que l’option de permettre aux utilisateurs de créer des « groupes publics » que tout le monde peut rejoindre est très puissante et offre aux communautés l’option de faire elle aussi la police. Voici quelques exemples des fantastiques possibilités que cette application offre :

Par exemple, un groupe de surveillance de quartier de voisins pourrait créer un groupe et utiliser l’application pour avertir tous les autres en cas d’urgences.

  • Les personnes âgées peuvent utiliser l’application pour avertir tous les membres de famille s’ils ont un besoin particulier.
  • Les activistes qui observent l’activité de la police ou les abus de la police peuvent avertir tous les activistes dans une zone et streamer la vidéo à tous leurs amis.
  • Les pompiers volontiers peuvent encourager leurs communautés à utiliser l’application comme une option « d’expédition » gratuite.
  • Les écoliers peuvent envoyer des alertes s’ils sont harcelés ou victimes d’abus à l’école.
  • Les membres de la famille peuvent être alertés quand les véhicules tombent en panne et ont besoin d’une urgence rapide.

Il y a d’innombrables autres possibilités pour cette application, et les créateurs visent clairement l’application des utilisateurs qui désirent être autonomes et ne pas dépendre des services gouvernementaux et des employés du gouvernement pour répondre aux urgences.

Cell 411 Inc. Receives $200,000 Seed Capital, Announces Version 3 Release https://truthvoice.com/2016/03/cell-411-inc-receives-200000-seed-capital-announces-version-3-release/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=cell-411-inc-receives-200000-seed-capital-announces-version-3-release Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:52:08 +0000 http://truthvoice.com/2016/03/cell-411-inc-receives-200000-seed-capital-announces-version-3-release/

Cell 411 Inc., creator of the free mobile app that allows individuals to issue emergency alerts and respond to alerts from members of their communities, friends and neighbors in near real time, received the investment of 10 Million NXT and 300 BTC, worth $200,000, from crypto- currency investor and entrepreneur Marc De Mesel.

Cell 411 empowers communities across the world to eliminate the need for slow government services and build solutions tailored to their own needs. The investment allows the 6-month old startup to boost its workforce and pursue the release of version 3 of its emergency management platform.

“This first round of funding is a huge boost to the development efforts going into Cell 411. We have a long list of features demanded by users and explicit demands from commercial clients like security firms, which are very strong market signals indicating that we are not only filling a need in the marketplace but also creating and shaping a brand new market in personal safety and security,” said Virgil Vaduva, founder of Cell 411.

The Cell 411 platform is now ranked at number 15 in the social marketing category of mobile apps in South Africa, following closely behind applications like Facebook and Google. Markets like South Africa, Western Europe and the United States have been particularly receptive to the increased need of tailored personal safety services for individual users and owners of smart phones.

“Our customers are always the users, and the development of the platform will always have them at the center, but now we can focus on the long-term improvement and strategic growth of the platform which will lead to better user experience, a better product and ultimately a safer world,” said Vaduva.

Version 3 of Cell 411 will be released later this summer with a greatly improved UI, improvements to the back-end infrastructure and improved support for live video streaming and other features demanded by users.
