'Stop & Frisk Watch', an NYCLU Phone App to Hold the NYPD accountable for its actions.

'Stop & Frisk Watch' is an easy and convenient way to hold the NYPD accountable for its actions. You can download it for free at www.nyclu.org/app The app has three main functions: Record, Listen and Report. The 'Record' function initiates your phone's camera. When you are finished recording, the app prompts a survey that you can fill out with any pertinent information regarding the police interaction you witnessed. This file, the video, audio and/or report are sent immediately to the New York Civil Liberties Union. The 'Listen' function turns on your phone's GPS and will alert you if any other 'Stop & Frisk Watch' users have started to film a police interaction in your vicinity. The 'Report' functions prompts the survey even if you didn't film the police interaction. 'Stop & Frisk Watch' also contains 'know your rights' information regarding your rights when you are stopped by police, and your rights to film police. For more information about what you can do to hold the police accountable or to see what the NYCLU has been doing for decades, go to www.nyclu.org

The iPhone version is coming out in July. :) We chose to do Android first, because we had limited funds and we wanted it to have a wide reach and most smartphone users have androids. But also, Androids are more affordable. More people can afford this tool who choose to hold the NYPD accountable using technology.

We limited it to NYC, we can't track police misconduct all over the country. But we welcome people all over the country to adopt what we have done to suit their own communities in an effort to create police accountability everywhere.

Still the racism will not stop. One can only imagine what it will look like next year after Obama is not the President. This country will go back to lynching blacks.

If stopping shady looking idiots saves innocent people from gun violence, it's worth it. Only guilty people should respond negatively
