What do you think of the Philly Watch Dog app?

From the Philly.com article:

WANT TO WORK as an undercover spy fighting government misconduct?

Just strap on your iPhone.

City Controller Alan Butkovitz yesterday unveiled an iPhone app that allows citizens to report fraud or government misconduct directly to the controller's fraud unit.

"Our Philly WatchDog app allows citizens to play a crucial role in protecting their tax dollars by reporting fraud, waste and abuse," Butkovitz said during a news conference.

What do you think?  Will it be abused? Do you think it will result in city resources spent investigating inaccurate cases of waste?

Re: What do you think of the Philly Watch Dog app?

  • interesting concept.  i am overall in favor of it but i wonder what/if there is some sort of sorting and coding, basically targeting, that allows the app to raise some reports higher than others based on key words, etc.  that would make the most sense and lower the amount of resources spent on innaccurate cases. 

    good concept..... we shall see where it ends up.
