We live in an era of digital surveillance cameras; facial recognition software; license plate readers; tipster apps on smart phones; actual security robots on patrol and other high tech crime fighting tools. They make the task of safety creation, professional and personal, much easier. I do caution allies who feel these innovations are the only way to save the day that looking out for each other remains the highest technology at our our command. I illustrate my point by underscoring that aside from being a quantum leap in criminal identification, these innovations still can't apprehend suspects. They aren't like the Autobots from the Transformers comic book, cartoon and movie series. Not yet at least. The simple yet supremely important act of looking out for each other is the highest technology brought to bear against crime.

Many moons ago back home, as my #SafetyCreation Theory took shape, I applied the basic role of #bountyhunter to non #bail related fugitives: child support, probation and parole violators and fugitives advertised in local papers. Some long term #bountyhunters had shared this expansion of #fugitiverecovery and I explored it. My working title for such endeavors is Reward Seeker ( RS ). A reward seeker is an expanded bounty hunter whose #motivation isn't always monetary ( Gasp!, Lol ) and doesn't require an intermediary like a bail agent. #Motivation runs the gamut from the thrill of the " hunt " per se to the satisfaction of ins...
