About

Mobile Justice app from the ACLU

Most people don't know you have the right to record the police while they conduct their affairs in public. The American Civil Liberties Union has an app (ACLU Mobile Justice) to help protestors and others exercise this right. It records video and immediately uploads the recording to an ACLU server. Even if the phone becomes damaged, there is an archived copy of the video. Most individuals are unaware of this right.  How can we make more people aware? One idea is to survey the video that has been recorded.  What should be surveyed in the recorded video? Would a survey of recordings help people know about the right?  Come and brainstorm on the  best ways to curate and review these data.
