***To uninstall be sure to uncheck "Lock Screen on Trigger" under the app’s “My Settings” tab. You will then be able to uninstall by accessing your phone’s application settings.Stop and Frisk Watch is available in English and Spanish. Initially available for Android phones, an iPhone version will be released later this summer. The app allows bystanders to fully documentstop-and-frisk encounters and alert community members when a street stop is in progress. It has three primary functions:• Record: This allows the user to film an incident with audio by simply pushing a trigger on the phone’s frame. Shaking the phone stops the filming. When filming stops, the user immediatelyreceives a brief survey allowing them to provide details about the incident. The video and survey will go to the NYCLU, which will use the information to shed light on the NYPD’s stop-and-friskpractices and hold the Department accountable for its actions.• Listen: This function alerts the user when people in their vicinity are being stopped by the police. When other app users in the area trigger Stop and Frisk Watch, the user receives a messagereporting where the police stop is happening. This feature is especially useful for community groups who monitor police activity.• Report: This prompts the survey, allowing users to report a police interaction they saw or experienced, even if they didn’t film it.The app includes a “Know Your Rights” section that instructs people about their rights when confronted by police and their right to film police activity in public.Stop and Frisk Watch is intended for use by people witnessing a police encounter, not by individuals who are the subject of a police stop.***To uninstall be sure to uncheck "Lock Screen on Trigger" under the app’s “My Settings” tab.
