We can't expect the bad guys to have any decency in this, after all. There has to be some sort of validation process, or as EdinMiami says, it will get spammed constantly.

Next, Scott & Jay, If you think a hashtag is the way to go, please go ahead and start it up... I'd imagine there would be no harm in having multiple efforts at the same goal in play at the same time, might be helpful in fact. The only concern I have with the hash tag approach is that it would be pretty easy for some antithetical cops to come along and start spamming the hashtag with their own entries. Not sure how to deal with that possibility. Thanks, and let me know if you guys start that up so I can try to set something up to watch it!

We all agree on a twitter hash (maybe #InjusticeEverywhere or something else) and simply tweet the stories with that hashtag. Voila, we've got a feed. I'm willing to help out where ever I can.

Carlos, for instance, could take on Florida misconduct while someone else scours for Arizona and someone else looks for Delaware etc...
