One of the challenges that arose in this project was the fact that taking videos of police encounters has led to some legal struggles with some witnesses with iPhones. iPhone videos have revealed some terrifying police encounters, and some of those officers have chosen to protect themselves under wiretapping laws.
My solution was to disable audio on this iphone application while taking video since only concealed audio is illegal, not taking public video. I will disable the audio so that these wiretapping laws will not be a viable defense for the officers that choose to seek defense under them.
