I have had an idea to produce an app for people to use in all sorts of interactions with authority that will help to "keep the bastards honest". If there are any coders, legal practitioners or anybody else who can help with this, especially people with knowledge of crowdfunding, please get in touch and please spread the word. Graham Young has my details and I'm happy for him to pass them on to anybody interested.

This is only going to spread if something isn't done.

Honesty meaning your version of the truth? Judging from your past posts, now thankfully absent, you would have a very one-sided idea of what honesty means. All politicians are dishonest when they feel the need to be, and no website is ever going too change that.

Honesty meaning that when a police officer or other authority is dealing with someone they are aware that their actions might be scrutinised and that an independent recording can be accessed to do so. The purpose is to try to improve on the situation at present which is very much "he said, she said". Police and other authorities are human, they make mistakes and they sometimes act outside the law. Why should they not be surveilled?

The concept is to stream the recorded sound/vision to a secure storage that can be accessed by courts if required.

There are already apps of this nature, but they are quite crude. The ACLU has a series of apps that are available to assist in dealing with the law.

Not sure why you feel the need to be abusive ttbn, I guess that's just the way you are.

It should also be noted that this works both ways. A claim against police or other authorities can be readily dismissed if evidence is available. The purpose is not to create more tension, it's to improve the way people deal with each other. Think of it as a moderator.
