In theory, I love it.
In practice, what's to stop the officer from confiscating and/or damaging/destroying your phone, before it has stopped recording and thus before it has sent anything at all to the ACLU? Worse, their faq seems to indicate that after stopping recording there is a survey that you either have to fill out or cancel before the video is transmitted.
The technology exists to stream the video, as it's recording, in real-time to the ACLU (I think). What is the ACLU thinking by ignoring this obvious flaw?
- irq-1 11y agoNot uploading immediately and having a form to fill out is almost unbelievable; in what situations do they think this will be used? If storage and bandwidth are the issues, would sending ONLY secure hashes help? It'd be fast and cheap. It'd prove that a video was taken, and stop any tampering. On the same idea, the app could send low-res photos once per second, depending on bandwidth. Now that I think of it, a P2P system would really be ideal: videos jump to other nearby devices running the app. They could be deleted after the person uploads, or a set period of time.
