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?

Ethics. Police.

In the same post.

I'm not police, but I am in the legal industry. Ethics is talked about a lot. Not seen much.

I think most phones have recording apps.

I just didn't understand. Ethics and police in the same post? Where? How? Why and what does that have to do with your supposed experience with those in law?
