You get that every call you make to an emergency services contact centre is recorded, right?

  Yes. But if there's a stabbing, a detective comes round knocking on doors and handing out business cards with a mobile number on, I think it's reasonable to have the belief that the call to the mobile is not recorded.

    Where is this? Also, the app they're talking about isn't a thing that records phone calls on your mobile, it's for accessing the call recorder system.

      Hypothetical stabbing, not a real case. > Also, the app they're talking about isn't a thing that records phone calls on your mobile, it's for accessing the call recorder system. That does not seem to be what the article is saying. > Several police forces in Britain [used] a calling app that recorded hundreds of thousands of phone conversations and illegally retained that data. > Some 1,015 staff downloaded the software on their work phones and made more than 200,000 records of phone chats, which the regulator reckons was likely with "victims, witnesses, and perpetrators of suspected crimes" and were "automatically saved." > When enabled, the app records and stores all phone calls made in the mobile device.
