Infractores

Infractores is an open source tool that lets anyone with a Twitter account report an infraction using a tweet.

The infractions are recorded and placed in a map along with the evidence supporting the report.

You can see a live instance of Infractores running here: Infractores BA

Considerations

The project uses a Twitter application to find the tweets that describe an infraction. It also uses Amazon Web Services to store the evidence related to the infraction.

• Postgres 9.4.1+
• Redis 3.0.1+
