Community Live Stream for Police Traffic Stops - Problem 1 #33

Theme: Police accountability and reform.

Brief description of your idea: Put the community's support behind every person worried about being discriminated against during a police stop. The idea is to develop a mobile app that can livestream the moment a police stop begins until it ends, where then the user is prompted to submit his thoughts about the interaction with police. The anonymous form will contain the livestream URL (optional), an area for police badge number, name, precinct, and interaction rating.

This information will be saved into a community database for the locality. Think of it as Yelp for Police.

What makes your idea unique?: It presents a community driven method of sharing incidents and thoughts on specific police precincts.

What would be the impact of your idea if implemented?: Police can be held more accountable for their actions against the vulnerable members of our community. Users can feel safer knowing that they have an easy way to report and optionally livestream their police interactions into an organized database.
