Description
TraffickCam enables you to help combat sex trafficking by uploading photos of the hotel rooms you stay in when you travel.
Traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements. These photographs are evidence that can be used to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. In order to use these photos, however, investigators must be able to determine where the photos were taken.
The purpose of TraffickCam is to create a database of hotel room images that an investigator can efficiently search, in order to find other images that were taken in the same location as an image that is part of an investigation.

Ratings and Reviews
Can’t submit pics already taken?
I just downloaded the app so I could submit pictures of the hotel I was in last week. However this option is not available as it only allows me to take live pictures. Can we add on that feature so people can add pictures after the fact as well?
Safety/Privacy Concerns
I love the new look and the app works well, but the recent update has made it so that you can’t upload photos from your photo gallery. I don’t mind uploading pictures on the spot but I worry that it could later pose a security risk further down the line as these photos are being uploaded with an address and hotel room, enabling people to know your current location if they wanted to. I doubt a hacker would want to hack the logs/databases of this app, but I don’t put it past someone to do that. I don’t know how apps like these work so my concerns might not be valid - if so, I would appreciate someone letting me know if I have nothing to be worried about.
Confirmation?
I love this concept and want to spread the word, but I don't know if my uploads are even getting through. I always have to try resubmitting several times, as I'm extremely thorough with my documentation and I assume it's just taking a while and my phone's going to sleep. However, the one time I finally don't get the error message in the upload, there's no message to tell me I succeeded, and nothing in the menu/FAQ to give me any clue.
Please keep this going! Knowing that trafficking exists has completely ruined the enjoyment of hotels for me. This is the one thing that gives me an ounce of peace, believing that my stay might be the key to rescuing someone from their living nightmare.
