My app I envisioned is available on both iOS and Android. This app can start video recording by pressing a small blue button on the left-hand corner or by saying a short password that is voice recognition encoded. The video will stop recording the same way it starts recording. The voice recognition setting is for a way for the user to record what is going on when both hands are not available. There is a way to wear the phone in situations where the user cannot use both hands. To wear the phone, purchase an arm wrap with a pocket where the user can put the phone in. Videos can be captured due to a clear screen on the arm wrap.

    This app can store video files in the app in the library. All files will have time stamps. The user can connect the app to one’s Google and/or iCloud account, so files can be downloaded on both platforms. Files can be stored in user’s phone as well.

    This app will be able to verify video recordings since it is voice recognition encoded. Since it is voice recognition encoded, it will only start recording when the user says the password, so those that user is showing this video know that the user was in a bad encounter with the police officer and/or law enforcement agent.  This app will work with social justice organizations in situations where the user needs immediate help when having negative and harmful encounters with police officers and law enforcement officers. When in a harmful situation, the user can immediately send files and live streams to social justice organizations to seek help.

       This application can be used outwardly because users must hold their phones up or have phones visible to capture the incident. It can be used discretely in the sense that it doesn’t make any sounds, so officers won’t know if the user is using an app or not. This app can protect bystander identity because there is a blur effect that will blur bystanders by just tapping on them. This effect can be turned on or off.  However, user identity cannot be hidden. Users may want to conceal their identity in cases where they are afraid of being identified by the cops since cops can target victims of police brutality. Identity verification may be needed in situations where the user wants to prove that they were a victim of police brutality. Since this app only recognizes the user’s voice, if the user says the password via speaking, then the app will open, proving that they were the victim since the app ONLY recognizes the user’s voice.

        To live stream the video, there are three buttons on the top: a red button, Facebook button, and the social justice icon button.  The red button will automatically send the live stream to emergency contacts that have been stored in the app. However, those in the emergency contacts must have this app installed to see a live stream of it. This app can be connected to Facebook, so when users want to live stream their video, they can just click on the Facebook button and it will automatically connect what they are capture on Facebook live. This app is in association with multiple social justice organizations so users can send their live stream to such organizations. There will be a small icon on the screen indicating social justice organizations. The user can click on that icon to send the videos to social justice organizations. Because of the Facebook button, red button, and the social justice button, users will have a choice to who they want their audience to be when live streaming their encounters.
