Social policing
Posted by: Dr Ashley Tan on: June 2, 2012
Some of us have probably thought of making citizen arrests of inconsiderate drivers or wishing there was some sort of system to shame them.
Here in Singapore, at best (and worst) we have Stomp. But that putrid platform is a bad excuse for citizen journalism and does not make a dent in social justice.
It is so bad I am not providing a link to it. It should be stomped on and sent to journalistic hell.

In contrast, Parking Douche is a social media-based idea that leverages on ads and Facebook to name and shame errant drivers. It is a great example of social policing when the traffic police do not seem to be doing anything.
Too bad it is an Android-only app and limited to Russia for now (source).
