Over the past decade, witnesses and camera footage have played a pivotal role in exposing police brutality. But for many youth, the risks of intervening still carry great weight.
As long as the events are plainly visible in public, you have the right to observe. You have a right to record the police as long as you are not interfering with the discharge of their law enforcement duties.[^1]
Do not hide the fact that you are recording, and keep your phone close to your body around chest level. Holding your phone out makes it easier for law enforcement to grab.
To enhance your privacy, disable the face or fingerprint ID to unlock your phone, and use a passcode with six or more digits.
Without a warrant, police can’t keep your recording device.[^2] They can’t demand to see or delete your photographs or videos under any circumstances.
While you are recording, you may be asked to stop or hand over your device. If so, simply remind the police officer of your First Amendment right to take photographs or videos in public, and politely but firmly refuse consent. Note that some officers may unlawfully arrest you for refusing to comply, so decide whether to take this risk.
Write down as many details as possible. You may be able to contact the person stopped afterwards, and your information could help if they file a complaint. Be sure to include:
It may take time to heal after witnessing a traumatic event. Allow yourself to process and reach out to friends, family, and medical professionals for ongoing support.

At 100 Automations, we’re committed a building a strong community who shared value is reduction of repetitive work -- whether that is from not having to write code more than once or answer the same question more than once for a lack of documentation.
Additionally, we seek to reduce the amount of time that individual authors will have to spend to properly monitor the people using and contributing to these automations by creating a shared support space, which you’ll see referenced in the contributing, support, and security files.
100Automations wants to list your automation. In order to do that your automation needs to have the following files:
The contributing.md file communicates how people should contribute to your project.
Include the type of contribution you’re looking for. For example:
The security.md file tells how people can safely report a security vulnerability in your automation.
The support.md files lets people know how to get help implementing your automation
Usually the first place developers look, so it should be fairly comprehensive with links to the other health files.
We recommend GNU 2.0
Your new repo will contain a Code of Conduct file.
You just need to add your project name. Please do not edit any other details. If you have suggested revisions, please let us know by opening an issue{:target="_blank"}.
If importing your automation from your own repository, add our default Code of Conduct{:target="_blank"}
