Anti Police Scanner

I am thinking about designing a radio frequency smartphone app for Android and Apple smartphones, that is powered by Mobile Data Networks and WiFi, so users can verbally communicate and report to each other, the location and GPS Coordinates of highway police running radar.

The free version would just include the radio frequency to communicate with other drivers and the paid version would have a GPS Navigation system, like Waze, but would be ran by VERIFIED volunteer admins from CopBlock.org.

Strict security measures will be taken by the app's volunteer administration via tracing IP Addresses of users to ensure law enforcement personnel do not sabotage operations by reporting phony and bogus locations.

Revenue from the app will be donated to organizations dedicated to social equality.

Now that being said: I unfortunately have no experience designing mobile applications, but I'm in the process of researching the best programs to help make my idea come to life. Does anyone have any suggestions, questions, or constructive criticism?
I have a few words, all in kindness:

First off, what you are talking about, is a mobile CB radio for regular drivers. Which, in theory, is brilliant. Truckers use CB radios to inform others of police, weigh stations, etc.

Also, what exactly would the paid navigation system offer that other FREE navigation systems do not...? (Such as Google maps)

Finally, having another person or third party coding your brain child for you can be kinda sketch. You need a serious contract before doing any business. Or, you could just learn to code over a period of time and code it yourself. ;)

Best of wishes to you and your project. Actually go for it and I think you will have great success.
The paid service would offer an "Emergency Mode" that sets your phone as a camera and streams the video to your account on my website.

I've been thinking about working with Cop Blocker.org volunteers (I guarantee you I'd get more than enough knowledgeable volunteers) to provide information look ups. For example:
Cop- You're not allowed to film me. That's wire tapping.
Victim on his bluetooth. Hey I need information saying filming someone in a public place with their knowledge isn't wire tapping.
Volunteer- Tell him Law XXX in Penal Code XXX.XXX says this this and that.
