I don't use apps like this, because they don't do the one thing which I want them to tell me: why were three police cars boxing in a vehicle at the end of my dead-end street at 3AM? Likewise, the City has an electrical outage map which clears the moment the power is restored. Was my power out? Should I check my freezer? Best I've got are the 12 o'clock flashers, the battery backup clocks which sync to line frequency, and the logs from the systems which aren't connected to the UPS. This is politics. To the people who live in areas with a lot of crime: If there are shootings, how many random bullet holes have you found? If it's general demeanor, how many condoms, sharps, cars without plates, cars missing wheels, cars with broken windows and does it vary with the time of day or day of week (or month)? It's similar to the discipline I exercised when doing a lot of alpine scrambling, especially at the bottom of cliffs: Fresh scars on the rocks? Do any of the trees look "shot up"? Maybe not the place to stop for lunch.
