I'm sharing this as an actual solution to empower civilians.

Please check out TurnSignl, an app founded by Black civil rights lawyers. It lets you video call a lawyer asap through voice activation or single touch when police pull you over. The lawyer manages & records the entire convo w/police & works to get you home safe.

It's like $7/mo and free for low income people. It's in a few dozen states & will be nationwide shortly. I have it myself.

@QasimRashid as a deafie, the first thing that popped into my head is that this could be super useful for deaf folks too. not for trying to terp so much (yikes) but definitely for recording what's going on since cops get upset when deaf folks don't instantly obey them (bc...we don't know what they said...) so having a hearing witness & recording could be super useful here too.

@browneyedgirl @QasimRashid omg yes! Deaf and autistic people die all the time because we’re unable to instantly follow commands.
