MobilePatrol: Public Safety

I used to have this app several years ago and it worked fine. Now, not so much! As soon as I got it installed and opened it, it asked me to either sign in or continue as guest, so I clicked the Facebook button and it wouldn’t let me connect. It said something about the app still being developed, yadda yadda.. After continuing as a guest, I can pull up inmate rosters but it only shows the inmates’ picture and arrest date, no names until I open the profile. I was looking for someone in particular so I tried to search for them and the search page is confusing. There’s search/text fields but nothing telling what to put in them.. I only assumed it was first & then last name, and not last, then first, but who knows.. This version needs some serious updates! Even just some basic updates would help a lot!

Every time I look on here it gives failed info. I see ppl get arrested and then I go on here and notice they are magically gone as if they weren't arrested. That is annoying because it should show you ppl that were arrested even if they started snitching they should leave all info on here. Doesn’t seem like the public is allowed to get info unless the ppl we hand our tax money to feels like giving it to us. Also they only show photos that they feel like I have noticed as well. There should be no way to alter this and all arrests shall stay in here and people should be able to comment on it. It makes me sick that I see ppl in here for minor offenses but others that are worse are pulled out of here as if they never existed. In that case we should all be-able to do the same thing. So my final opinion on this app is that it’s not accurate and is full of lies as well as misleading info added and incorrect enter and Release dates as well wrong bail amounts and so much. Wrong miss leading info and favoritism as well. Use as last resort and don’t believe s thing you see in there!

I use to have this app a long time ago and I don’t remember why I deleted it but I just recently re-downloaded it. I know that some of the functionalities have changed since I used it in the past but I know that happens sometimes with Apple policy changes and what not. The app does still have some useful information but unfortunately I can’t trust the validity of the information it has. I’ve noticed a few things that are consistently incorrect. Such as every inmate listed in certain counties has 1 year added to their actual age (meaning And a man who is 35 years old will have their age listed as 36 in the MobilePatrol app). Or extra zeros added onto bail amounts making them appear much higher than they are ($5000 bail shows in the app as $50,000 bail). How the heck does that even happen? Doesn’t this just copy over from public record? I’ve checked it against public record and found that the public record is correct but the app is not
