Getting pulled over by a cop for seemingly no reason? With the ongoing protests over police brutality all around the world, it’s more important than ever to have video evidence in the event of a violent or abusing interaction with an officer. In light of the current events. An old iPhone shortcut called Police has recently been gaining a lot of traction — and if you are an active, iPhone-bearing participant in the current civil rights movement, you should have this installed on your gadget today.

Once the shortcut is installed and configured, the user can simply say, “Hey Siri, I’m getting pulled over.” The program will respond by pausing any music, turning down the brightness on the iPhone and turning on “do not disturb” mode. The shortcut will then prompt a text to an emergency contact to alert them that the user has been pulled over. Finally, it will begin recording the interaction using the iPhone’s front-facing camera.

In a 2018 interview with Business Insider, the shortcut developer Robert Petersen said: “It seemed to me that if you’re getting pulled over it couldn’t hurt to have a recording of the incident.” Dismantling or defunding the police seems to be the most effective way to combat police brutality, but having video evidence of your encounters with the police is generally a good practice in case the interaction escalates.

For my fellow #iPhone users, say “Siri I’m being pulled over” and it pauses music, goes into ‘do not disturb’ mode, dims the phone’s brightness, and starts recording on the phone’s front-facing camera. Once you stop the recording it will send the video to a designated contact.
