Its probably possible to send the recordings TO a unit inside a locked container in your car (via wifi).
I know this might limit the use-cases for an app, as well as require more effort to do, but that would be pretty slick.
Another way to protect the recordings is to live stream the audio to the internet (with location info). This way, the data is already stored online before the police have a chance to go poking around in a confiscated phone.
Maybe even make the streams available in real-time so people can listen in on live stops as they happen.
- saurik 14y agoTo be clear, I was bringing up this concern not to protect the recordings (although I do agree that is an interesting point, albeit one easily solved by the "stream it to the Internet" mechanism), but to point out a practical issue with using your cell phone as the recorder: your cell phone probably has a lot of other things on it, from call histories to SMS logs to photographs, any of which you might not want a police officer randomly digging through "on a whim"; hence the advice people offer to keep it locked in a glove compartment in these situations.
