TraffickCam

Exchange Initiative

About this app

TraffickCam enables you to help combat sex trafficking by uploading photos of the hotel rooms you stay in when you travel.

Traffickers regularly post photographs of their victims posed in hotel rooms for online advertisements. These photographs are evidence that can be used to find and prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes. In order to use these photos, however, investigators must be able to determine where the photos were taken.

The purpose of TraffickCam is to create a database of hotel room images that an investigator can efficiently search, in order to find other images that were taken in the same location as an image that is part of an investigation.

Ratings and reviews

I recently stayed at a hotel and quickly snapped 4 pictures like I've done for years with this app, before letting everyone get comfortable in the room. After checking out of the room, I had a chance to upload the photos, but now see the app update no longer allows that. Not as convenient as before when you are limited on time or signal/wifi. I'll have to change the way I use the app in the future and I guess toss the recent photos.

I've used the old version for many years. The new version is extremely difficult to use. I took a bunch of photos while staying at a hotel, and I cannot find a way to upload them at a later time when I have secure internet connection. The old version was much easier for photo submission. Please add the functionality back. Thank you.

This updated version STINKS! I used the older version for years and never had a problem. This is complicated. The other one was very user friendly. I don't have time to figure this out or to take pictures and then have it tell me that I'm hitting the wrong button... You just lost a user, and I am a strong advocate for survivors of trafficking.

Fixed a bug where object bounding boxes might not be set to the correct position on submitted images.
