I've been thinking about this, and I wish I was computer savvy enough to do it, but maybe someone from anonymous or assange could set this up...
A website to make it easy for people to upload a photo from cell phone or other camera to a website that would include date, time, and location of all law enforcement personnel.
Then an app to let people know if there are law enforcement personnel in their area.
There is a danger that criminals could use it, but at this point I think out of control government surveillance is the bigger threat.
