Fighting Crime With Your Cell Phone Camera

Rob Wilcox wants you to pull out your cell phone, shoot photos of people you do not know, and text or email them to his startup company, FaceFile, just in case they turn out to be psycho killers.

If you sign up for a free account at face-file.com, you can take a photo of anyone you meet, store the photo online, and alert friends and family, who can access the photo and call the police if anything goes horribly wrong. Really.
