Are there any apps for recording police interactions? (lemmy.ml)

imagine an app that is sort of like a panic button. You get pulled over, you open the app and hit the button which then (depending on your preferences), starts recording/streaming video and audio, locks the phone, and maybe starts recording accelerometer/gps data, etc.

It would need to be thoroughly developed/tested before actually it could be ethically recommended.

What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea? unfeasible? Already existing?

That is so dystopian, holy shit... I mean, if you see it as something people would want/need, then yeah, that sounds good. I don't know if such a thing exists, though. This link shares some things, features, and apps that maybe do some of what you're talking about.

IDK man, over here I don't think police interactions are as violent as they are in the US...
