This is why, despite all the ridiculous freakouts about privacy, cameraphones are a good thing:
As the police arrived and a crowd gathered outside the motel, the Browns noticed a strange-acting man. He asked what had happened and ran across the U.S. 1 Bypass, to a van parked at the College Heights McDonald’s, when he was told a man had been murdered.
Another daughter, Tracy Brown, 22, has seen enough episodes of television’s “Law & Order” to know suspicious activity when she sees it. She got out her Sprint camera-phone and started taking photographs, of both the man and the license tags of the van.
The whole idea is that cameraphones are quick and ubiquitous—just like any other camera could be, if it were small enough.
