The Prompt
We all depend on our GPS devices whether it’s through Google, Apple, or other providers, but do we know how those online maps are created?
For at least Apple and Google, a small car literally drives around each neighborhood with a camera on top taking pictures and videos in real time for use later in their maps.
What if one of these drivers inadvertently takes a picture of a crime being committed unbeknownst to the driver?
This could be in a home, a park, a shopping center, a theatre, or a deserted road. For this prompt you can use the POV of the person committing the crime and finding the evidence on Google or Apple maps or you can use a different POV such as the victim or the officer investigating the crime.
What is the crime and what did the camera see? Enjoy!
