Could QR Codes Find Justice for Unsolved Homicides?
The Miami-Dade Police Department has launched a QR code system that when scanned takes you to a list of unsolved murders. Detectives and Crime Stoppers say they hope it will lead to tips from individuals with information that can "bring closure" to families of victims.
To combat the recent surge in gun violence, the Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) has launched a QR code that when scanned takes you to a list of unsolved murders, reports NBC Miami. Once the card is scanned, you get more i nformation on the case and a place to submit tips. The saying “see something, say something” is used often, but detectives and Crime Stoppers hope it will bring results and help them find justice. “These cards will fall into the right hands of the right individual who knows something, saw something, had a conversation with someone,” MDPD Homicide Bureau Maj. George Aguiar said. “Maybe this will give them that one little bit of inspiration or spark to come forward and give us information so we can bring closure to all these families.”
