and Frisk Watch Now Available on iPhones       [image: Stop and Frisk Watch

Dear friend,

Do you own an iPhone? Then you can hold the NYPD accountable for violating
people's rights.

Today, the NYCLU released an iPhone version of Stop and Frisk
Watch<http://click.actions.aclu.org/?qs=3ef3cdea045411469d7939a0ed2e2d30ea56366fa4b7c4a7c839bf33e7e3a235>–
our smart-phone app that allows bystanders to document stop-and-frisk
encounters and alert community members when a street stop is in progress.

*You have a First Amendment right to record police activity in public.
Doing so empowers you to expose abusive policing and protect your neighbors.
*

Stop and Frisk Watch<http://click.actions.aclu.org/?qs=3ef3cdea045411469d7939a0ed2e2d30ea56366fa4b7c4a7c839bf33e7e3a235>,
which is free and already available for Android phones, has three primary
functions:

   - *RECORD:* Users can film a police encounter with audio. When filming
   stops, the user immediately receives a brief survey allowing them to
   provide details about the incident. The video and survey are sent to the
   NYCLU.
   - *LISTEN:* This alerts users when someone in their neighborhood is
   being stopped by the police. It's especially useful for community groups
   that 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.

NYPD data shows that hundreds of thousands of innocent New Yorkers are
stopped and frisked each year. The information collected through Stop and
Frisk Watch documents how this humiliating and abusive tactic corrodes
trust between police and communities. It helps you fight for change.

Stop and Frisk Watch is also available on Android. Visit

more information.

Thank you for all that you do,

The Staff of the NYCLU
