Upload Pictures or videos for activity around you to help with governmental oversight. you can help:

The app will provide a list of "watch points" near you that need oversight by members of the public. You go to those places at the time specified, follow the instructions, and submit photos, videos, and text information.

This information is filtered to weed out spam, and then hosted in a crowd-based research site that allows members of the public to cull through the submissions to locate important data needed for legal actions, to determine questionable patterns of operation, locate "bad apples" for further submission to oversight panels, etc.

Our government is vast and has many nooks and crannies. We need a way for independent data gatherers and reviewers to provide much needed oversight at critical moments when we know it is a great temptation for officials to put their thumb on the scales.

Please join our team of independent data gatherers and reviewers to help change the world!
