I was given the opportunity to download an app on my iPhone that I truly believe can change the way people, and attackers, think!
The app, ICE BlackBox, will be a new way to defend against attacks from bullies, strangers, rapists and other violent offenders.
It will provide anyone the ability to remove the element of anonymity from the attacker. Once launched, the app streams video, audio & GPS information to our secure vault. This evidence is available to the victim and the victim's ICE contacts (a personal list of In Case of Emergency contacts). It cannot be deleted, this is to protect the victim from being forced to delete the recording.
If the victim feels the attack is imminent, he/she can launch the app point it at the attacker(s) and tell them "I Have You on ICE." At that point, the attacker(s) have a decision to make. Continue the attack with the knowledge that their face and voice are now on a secure server to be used in a court of law or turn around and walk away.
If the awareness of this app and the movement truly reaches all, we feel that this will definitely help deter attackers from completing an attack.
If the attacker decides to continue the attack, the victim can click on the 911 icon and the app will dial 911 and at the same time send a message to your ICE contacts with a link to your video and your exact GPS location.
If this movement spans the globe, we may change the way attackers think about hurting innocent people. This is possible, but we as a human community must come together and make a commitment to use this tool to stop abuse.
Join us... and spread the word - BE VIRAL!
Today we deliver a tool to help empower everyone from violence!!
I love this app. I think it's a great way to catch the attackers in action. Not only will it deter bullies, but it could potentially catch rapists and any other attackers. This app is $4.99 through itunes.
