Secretly Monitor Cop Stops with New ACLU App :::: In the News

Citizens, citizen journalists and activists have run afoul of the police before, when recording police activities. This is despite the fact that police have all manner of recording equipment of their own, and don’t hesitate to use it. The ACLU of New Jersey has come down on the side of the public, with a new app that helps the public surreptitiously record the authorities.
The app is currently only available on Android, but will be coming to iOS soon, according to the report, although theiPhone version will only have an audio recording option. It is, of course, unclear why this app was developed by a state branch rather than the national organization, but at this point, who cares? We love the idea.
