Cell phone pictures

I am not sure what this all means.
  1. A man from Oregon, apparently posing as a cop was photographed by a cell phone during the commission of an attempted kidnapping.

  2. An 18 year old robber steals a cell phone and then takes pictures of himself. Unbeknownst to him, the phones owner has it set up so that all pictures are sent to a computer. The owner contacts police with a self portrait of the would be robber.

  3. Teenagers (under 18) send each other naked pictures. Legislation is hastily being created to address the multitude of issues this creates. In some cases, harassment, bullying and suicide are the result. Is this child porn?
     
  4. People actually stop in the throes of passion to answer their cell phone.
  5. A cell phone photo is captured of a shotgun toting man at a grade school bus stop!
How is this an improvement? When I was young, phones had cords, and no one ever called me from the toilet. I had some privacy and did not feel obligated to answer every call (now add text messages). In fact, no one had an expectation that I would be always available and instantly "on."
