Unexpected consequences of everyone carrying a cell phone? That is the best reason I have heard regarding the drop in crime. With every potential witness, also being a potential 'reporter', I can see where the paranoia could keep some of the cowardly cretin element from actually performing the crime they would ordinarily normally do.

I never thought about the cell phone theory, but it certainly sounds as if that has made an impact. I don't know one person who does not carry one with them at all times.

Thanks, I just can't imagine that my more militant attitude, or my martial arts skills, or my CW permit have anything to do with the declining crime rate. More cell phones, however...........
