How to record a police traffic stop on your phone
|
|
|
Getting pulled over by the police is stressful. It's even more stressful if you're Black, Brown, another person of color or an immigrant. A recent study of nearly 100 million traffic stops found that Black people are 20 percent more likely to get pulled over. In California, a disproportionate number of people of color are pulled over, arrested and subject to excessive force compared to white people. In the city of Boston alone, 70 percent of people stopped by police are Black.
And it's not only profiling; it's the increased use of force against people of color. Overall, police are twice as likely to threaten the use of force against people of color and twice as likely to use it. We've seen this police brutality play out time and again with viral videos of police encounters, as cell phone recordings of these interactions become ubiquitous.
If you're pulled over by the police, it may be a good idea to record your interaction. It could protect you and provide evidence in cases of excessive force or brutality, as well as increase accountability of the policing system. Here are some quick tips on how you can record your encounter with police during a traffic stop.
