We know that because of our fallible legal system, video proof does not mean justice; however, it still provides the public evidence of excessive force, unprofessionalism, unconstitutional actions, and in the worst-case scenario, murder hands of a few police officers.
This protects your First Amendment Right to record the police by making it illegal for a police officer to confiscate or view the contents of your recording device.
Quickly upload your video, email it, or set it to automatically back up to a cloud service like Dropbox or Google Drive to ensure that your footage is safe in the instance that an officer unlawfully seizes your phone.
Recording a video for evidence of police misconduct is a little different than recording for fun.
Having your name publicly tied to such a video makes you a target of internet trolls and perhaps even harassment by other police officers.
