In my limited experience with it, Citizen is trash and incentivizes bad behavior.
I once watched someone live streaming themselves following police into a call at a private residence. Unsurprisingly, the police officers responding forced the person back out onto the street. Now, I am all for accountability, bodycams, etc. but ordinary people holding up their smartphones _should not_ be following police officers into active crime scenes and any company that incentivizes or gamifies this behavior is, by definition, trash.

- jklinger410 7y ago>incentivizes bad behavior How exactly did they incentivize this?
- ethagnawl 7y agoI haven't used the app in a while, so I don't remember the exact set of social features it offers, but the app is very social and, as is to be expected, users get off on how many people are watching their feed, commenting, following them, etc.
