What is It? 

TraffickCam allows the capability upload photos of your hotel room while traveling to be uploaded to law enforcements database to fight trafficking. 

How does it work?

You can upload your photos for free on the app, which are then added to a large database of hotel room images. Law enforcement then analyzes the photos and patterns of the carpeting, furniture, room accessories and window views. The photos are then matched against the database of traveler images to provide law enforcement with a list of potential hotels where the photo may have been taken.
