Follow on Google News | PhoneDaddy.com CEO Trent Silver Discusses Fast Company Story: L.A. Mayor Arresting Subway ThievesEarlier this week, Los Angeles Metro subway system riders began being arrested for charging their phones using the subway electrical outlets. PhoneDaddy.com CEO Trent Silver offers analysis and expert commentary.
By: PhoneDaddy.com "It's pretty egregious that the mayor of a major city wants to devote law enforcement resources to the charging of cell phones, rather than to preventing serious crime," says Silver. Metro spokesperson Paul Gonzales said the arrests were legal because the subjects are stealing and because "electricity isn't free." The recent arrests have created an environment where both young and elderly riders are nervously unplugging their cell phones to avoid being arrested. "This is very scary. There are a number of dangerous things that can happen when cell phones are dead and an emergency situation arises. This can only do more bad than good," notes Silver. http://www.PhoneDaddy.com is a Silver Visibility brand, developed and launched under the Silver Visibility PINC label, or "Personal Incubator," best known for launching CashForPurses.com, the purse exchange site that made international headlines by offering to help Lindsay Lohan with her financial troubles and offering to give all the proceeds to a charity of her choice.
